โฆ Synopsis
In the past year, significant progress in the area of Fc receptor biology has been made in three areas: identification of the protective FcR for serum IgG half-life (Brambell receptor), characterization of the mechanism(s) of inhibitory receptor Fc gamma RIIB signaling, and dissection of the in vivo roles of FcRs in inflammation.

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-fun
