Purpose : The immature neonatal immune system is thought to result in increased risk of infection.
Receptors for the Fc moiety of IgG(FcγR) are important in antibody-mediated clearance of
microbes by granulocytes and monocytes/macrophages. As an approach to understand their role in
neonatal life, we compared the constitutive expression of the three Fc receptors-FcγRI(CD64), Fcγ
RII(CD32) and FcγRIII(CD16)-of neonatal granulocytes with those of adult... |
