An effective functioning of these molecules requires  interaction with immune cells. Receptors for antibodies, Fc receptors,  provide this critical link between the humoral and cellular branches  of the immune system. This book presents a comprehensive overview of  the different Fc receptors currently recognized. The first part of the  book contains state-of-the-art overviews on the biological role of  FcR. The latest information on FcR heterogeneity, FcR physiology,  FcR-ligand recognition, their crucial coordinating role in immunity,  interactions with other immunoreceptors, and the role of FcR in  immunoglobulin transport and catabolism are discussed. The clinical  importance of FcR is developed in the second part of the book. The  well-recognized roles of FcR in allergy, inflammation, infectious  diseases, autoimmune disorders, and immunotherapeutic importance are  reviewed. The information in this book is easily accessible and should  be helpful for researchers and clinical specialists as a convenient  overview of the field, as well as a comprehensive introduction for  students starting in this area of research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401061063\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5018-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240.0cm x160.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 324.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359154335884,"sku":"9789401061063","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401061063_91eec735-6dbc-40ea-b029-4f8fb512cd9b.jpg?v=1759288044","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401061063","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
