Association between Fcγ receptor IIA, IIIA and IIIB genetic polymorphisms and susceptibility to severe malaria anemia in children in western Kenya
(BioMed Central, 2017-04-20)
Background Naturally-acquired immunity to Plasmodium falciparum malaria develops after
several episodes of infection. Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) bind to immunoglobulin G (IgG)
antibodies and mediate phagocytosis of ...
Functional Haplotypes of Fc gamma (Fcγ) receptor (FcγRIIA and FcγRIIIB) predict risk to repeated episodes of severe malarial anemia and mortality in Kenyan children
(Springer-Verlag, 2012-02-01)
Development of protective immunity against Plasmodium falciparum is partially
mediated through binding of malaria-specific IgG to Fc gamma (γ) receptors. Variations in
human FcγRIIA-H/R-131 and FcγRIIIB-NA1/NA2 affect ...
