Using monoclonal antibodies to the three known human leukocyte IgG receptors, FcγR, we
examined the expression of FcγR in normal brains and in Alzheimer's disease. We found
FcγRI, II and III immunoreactivity in senile plaques and on ramified microglia throughout the
cortex and white matter of normal and Alzheimer's disease brains. FcγRI expression was
independently confirmed by a murine isotype binding study. These findings suggest that
intrinsic FcγR may play an important role in normal and disordered immune-related …
