Abstract excerpt
A polymorphism that up-regulates the expression of Fc receptor-like 3 (FCRL3) gene has recently been described as predisposing for several human autoimmune diseases. FCRL3 is preferentially expressed on B cells and is unique in displaying both an ITAM and an ITIM in the cytosolic domain, suggesting signaling functions. Herein, we show that FCRL3 potentially inhibits BCR-mediated signaling, using murine...
