title: Functional studies on Fc receptors.
abstract: Fc receptors (FcRs) are cell surface molecules that recognize and bind to the constant domains of immunoglobulins. In doing so, they enable antibodies to perform several biological functions, by forming a link between specific antigen recognition and FcR-bearing cells. Here, Gabriella Sármay provides an overview of recent studies on FcRs in Hungarian laboratories, concentrating on their role in selected biological systems.
