Abstract excerpt
At the surface of phagocytes, antibody-opsonized particles are recognized by surface receptors for the Fc portion of immunoglobulins (FcRs) that mediate their capture by an actin-driven process called phagocytosis which is poorly defined. We have analyzed the function of the Rho proteins Rac1 and CDC42 in the high affinity receptor for IgE (FcepsilonRI)-mediated phagocytosis using transfected rat basophil...
