Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on studies of the murine and human leukocyte
FcγR and FCɛR I, with particular reference to the structural characterization of these
receptors, the molecular nature of their interaction with immunoglobulin (Ig), and their
mechanisms of signal transduction. In addition, the chapter also reviews different aspects of
FcμR, FcαR, the poly Ig receptor, the receptor for the transport of Ig in neonatal gut, and
receptors for IgD. The characterization of the proteins, transcripts, and genes of the different …
