Human Fcγ-receptors selectively respond to C-reactive protein (CRP) isoforms
2025-03-25
Abstract excerpt
The pentameric C-reactive protein (pCRP), an acute-phase protein, binds to lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) displayed on the surface of dying cells and microorganisms to activate the complement system and to opsonize immune cells via Fcγ-receptors (FcγRs). Members of the FcγR family are characterized by the recognition of the Fc part of IgG antibodies. We utilized a mouse thymoma BW5147 reporter cell panel stably exp...
