✦ Synopsis
This year there have been three major highlights in this field: genetic sequencing of the principal Fc receptors has been completed; new proteins associated with both Fc gamma receptors and B-cell membrane immunoglobulins have been identified; and there has been an initial analysis of structural-functional relationships in these receptors using genetic engineering.

Receptors for the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G (IgG; FcgammaRs) facilitate IgG uptake by effector cells as well as cellular responses initiated by IgG binding. In earlier studies, we demonstrated that amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patient IgG can be taken up by motor neuron terminals and tra
The structure and dynamics of the plasma membrane are proposed to be critical for the initial steps of signal transduction by the high-affinity immunoglobulin E receptor. Recent experimental advances indicate that interactions between the high-affinity immunoglobulin E receptor and the tyrosine kina
