title: Fc receptors and membrane immunoglobulin.
abstract: 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-functional relationships in these receptors using genetic engineering.
