- Abstract
Fc gamma receptors are present on cells involved in the immune response. Although there are many reports concerning the mechanism of interaction of the receptors with the immunoglobulin ligands, expression of the receptors on cells and their effector functions and genes encoding the receptor chains, information concerning Fc gamma R signalling is rather limited. This review presents data on Fc gamma R-mediated signal transduction.
