## Abstract The IgG binding Fcγ receptors (FcγRs) play a key role in defence against pathogens by linking humoral and cell‐mediated immune responses. Impaired expression and/or function of FcγR may result in the development of pathological autoimmunity. Considering the functions of FcγRs, they are
Fc receptors for IgG (Fc gamma Rs) can trigger the inflammatory, cytotoxic and hypersensitivity functions of immune effector cells. Activation or deactivation of effector cells via Fc gamma Rs can be exploited to develop novel therapies for cancer, infectious diseases and autoimmune disorders. Initi
