Receptor-mediated transport of IgG. [PDF]
The intestinal epithelium of the neonatal rat is a model system for the study of receptor-mediated endocytosis in which large amounts of IgG are transferred intact across polarized cells. This review summarizes the ultrastructural pathway followed by IgG during cellular transit and several important properties of the membrane receptor that recognizes ...

Copy number, linkage disequilibrium and disease association in the FCGR locus [PDF]
The response of a leukocyte to immune complexes (ICs) is modulated by receptors for the Fc region of IgG (FcgammaRs), and alterations in their affinity or function have been associated with risk of autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus ...

Immunomodulation by IVIg and the role of Fc-gamma receptors: classic mechanisms of action after all?
Intravenous IgG (IVIg) contains polyclonal IgG from thousands of donors. It is administered at a low dose at regular intervals as antibody replacement therapy and at a higher dose as immunomodulatory treatment in various auto-immune or auto-inflammatory ...

Differential patterns of human immunoglobulin G subclass responses to distinct regions of a single protein, the merozoite surface protein 1 of Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]
Comparisons of immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclass responses to the major polymorphic region and to a conserved region of MSP-1 in three cohorts of African villagers exposed to Plasmodium falciparum revealed that responses to Block 2 are predominantly IgG3 ...

Identification and expression of a murine cytomegalovirus early gene coding for an Fc receptor [PDF]
Several herpesviruses, including cytomegalovirus, induce receptors for the Fc domain of murine immunoglobulin G (IgG) molecules. Viral genes coding for these receptors have been characterized only for alphaherpesviruses. In this report, we describe a new

The role of FcRn in antigen presentation
Immunoglobulins are unique molecules capable of simultaneously recognizing a diverse array of antigens and themselves being recognized by a broad array of receptors. The abundance specifically of the IgG subclass and the variety of signaling receptors to

IgE glycans promote anti-IgE IgG autoantibodies that facilitate IgE serum clearance via Fc Receptors [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown that IgE glycosylation significantly impacts the ability of IgE to bind to its high-affinity receptor FcεRI and exert effector functions.

IgG Isolated from LP-BM5 Infected Mouse Brain Activates Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors
Biochemical and immunological studies have shown that mice infected with LP-BM5 virus develop antibodies to ionotropic glutamate receptors. Here, IgG isolated from brain of infected mice has been tested electrophysiologically on cultured rat cortical and

A Comparison of Natural and Therapeutic Anti-IgE Antibodies
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) plays a critical role for the immune system, fighting against parasites, toxins, and cancer. However, when it reacts to allergens without proper regulation, it can cause allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, through a process ...
