title: Fc receptors.
abstract: In the past year, significant progress in the area of Fc receptor biology has been made in three areas: identification of the protective FcR for serum IgG half-life (Brambell receptor), characterization of the mechanism(s) of inhibitory receptor Fc gamma RIIB signaling, and dissection of the in vivo roles of FcRs in inflammation.
