Abstract excerpt
T lymphocytes bearing Fc receptors (FcR) for immunoglobulins are known to have immunoglobulin class-specific regulatory functions. Here we report that expression on T cells of the low-affinity FcR for IgE (Fc epsilon RII/CD23) is preferentially induced by stimulation with antigens that cause an I...
