IgG fc receptors

JV Ravetch, S Bolland - Annual review of immunology, 2001 - annualreviews.org
Since the description of the first mouse knockout for an IgG Fc receptor seven years ago,
considerable progress has been made in defining the in vivo functions of these receptors in
diverse biological systems. The role of activating FcγRs in providing a critical link between
ligands and effector cells in type II and type III inflammation is now well established and has
led to a fundamental revision of the significance of these receptors in initiating cellular
responses in host defense, in determining the efficacy of therapeutic antibodies, and in …
