Abstract
Two decades ago, seminal studies from the National Institute of Health identified impairment of in vivo Fc receptor specific function in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (1). Further work demonstrated that this receptor dysfunction correlated with immune complex levels measured by complement-independent assays (2), varied with disease activity both within individual patients and across patient cohorts (2–5), and also occurred in patients with various types of immune complex disease (6,7). Efforts to understand the molecular basis of these findings accelerated with the cloning of eight distinct genes, grouped in three highly homologous families, for human Fcγ receptors. Through intrinsic differences in each gene and through alternative splicing, these genes yield 10 or so distinct protein products (8–14).
