Human Fc Receptors for IgG

Abstract
Human lymphocytes bear at least three different classes of FcγR, which are different in cellular distribution, structure, and function. This review deals with recent advances in understanding the complexity of huFcγR. In particular, studies demonstrating the presence of alternate phosphatidyl inositol glycan-anchored and (ransmembrane-anchored forms of huFcγRIII (CD16) are discussed.
