A functional role for Fc mu receptors on human lymphocytes.
The essential findings in this paper are that ox erythrocytes (ORBC) sensitized with human heterophile IgM antibody failed to detect Fc mu receptors on human lymphocytes. These results contrast to those obtained when the ORBC were sensitized with mouse hybridoma IgM antibody (SCC I). It is therefore suggested that the functional role of Fc mu receptors on human lymphocytes is not to bind IgM/antigen complexes.
