Abstract:
:Since the bona fide Fc receptor for IgM antibody (FcµR) was identified eight years ago, much progress has been made in defining its biochemical nature, cellular distribution, and effector function. However, there are clearly conflicting results, especially about the cellular distribution and function of murine FcµR. In this short article, we will discuss recent findings from us and other investigators along with our interpretations and comments that may help to resolve the existing puzzles and should open new avenues of investigation.
