Abstract
Membrane receptors provide the essential recognition function required for control of macrophage responses to changes in their cellular environment. Considering the complexity and number of different functions performed by macrophages, it is likely that only a small proportion of the total number of different types of receptors are presently known. Among these various receptors there are at least six distinct types of complement (C) receptors and three different types of IgG-Fc receptors (Table 1). Of these nine types of receptors, only four have been characterized structurally. Although a function has been described for six of these receptors, it is possible that each of these receptors may control several other additional functions that are presently unknown.
