Book excerpt: This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of human IgG Fc receptors, which have a crucial coordinating role in immunity. The organization of the book is unique in that it describes the FcgR on the basis of the cells expressing them. This optimally allows to address specific roles for FcgR on select cells (i.e. immunoregulation on B cells, IgG-transport in placenta, phagocytosis on neutrophils). The information in this book is easily accessible and should be helpful for researchers as a convenient overview of the field, as well as a comprehensive introduction for students starting in this area of research. Importantly, a summary of key information of the various FcgR is presented in "FcgR Yellow Pages," for rapid/convenient access of relevant data.
