Abstract excerpt
The role of Ag-Ab complexes (or immune complexes; ICs) in the regulation of the maturation of the B cell immune response was investigated in mice perturbed in the deposition and retention of such complexes. Loss of surface expression of Fc gammaRI and Fc gammaRIII due to targeted disruption of the common FcR gamma-chain gene results in dramatically increased deposition of ICs on follicular dendritic cells (FDCs)...
