The human leukocyte receptors fall into two functional groups, namely, proinflammatory, activating‐type receptors (FcγRI, FcγRIIa, FcγRIIc, FcγRIIIa and FcγRIIIb, which are also known as CD64, CD32a, CD32c, CD16a and CD16b, respectively) and the anti‐inflammatory, inhibitory‐receptor group (FcγRIIb also called CD32b) which was the first immune checkpoint described. |

Sentence |
denotes |
FcγRIIc is an activating FcγR whose expression is regulated single nucleotide polymorphism that permits expression in approximately 20% of humans and in whom it is present at low levels on natural killer (NK) and B cells.11 It has arisen by gene duplication/recombination resulting in an extracellular region derived from FcγRIIb, which binds IgG4, and with an ITAM‐containing cytoplasmic tail related to the activating receptor FcγRIIa. |
T100 |
6909-7027 |

FcγRIIb2 is the predominant inhibitory receptor found on basophils and neutrophils, as well as on subpopulations of mast cells, dendritic cells and some monocytes/macrophages. |
T114 |
8634-8850 |
Sentence |
denotes |
FcγRIIb2 lacks the cytoplasmic insertion of FcγRIIb1 and consequently can internalize rapidly including with the activating FcR when they are co‐cross‐linked.11 It is not clear which form is present on human T cells. |
T115 |
8851-8978 |
Sentence |
denotes |

The most extensively characterized receptor expression is FcγRIIb which is expressed on follicular dendritic cell, airway smooth muscle and liver endothelium. |
T122 |
9797-10187 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Its abundant expression on liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) is estimated to represent the majority of in vivo FcγRIIb expression.17, 29, 30, 31 As FcγRIIb lacks intrinsic proinflammatory signaling function, its role on these nonhemopoietic cells involves immune complex handling without the danger of, or the need for, induction of local tissue destructive inflammatory responses. |
T123 |
10188-10525 |
Sentence |
denotes |
On LSEC its major role appears to be immune complex sweeping, a process of removal of small immune complexes such as opsonized virus or macromolecules.17 This scavenging role by FcγRIIb on LSEC can be exploited in principle by mAbs forming small soluble complexes with their targets such as antiviral, anticytokine or similar antibodies. |

Sentence |
denotes |
11 and Getahun and Cambier 32) Induction of an activating signal requires the aggregation of activating FcγR by immune complexes, or by antigen in the case of the BCR. |
T128 |
11048-11208 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This aggregation at the cell membrane results in specific tyrosine phosphorylation of the ITAM by Src kinases, thus initiating the activation cascade.32, 33, 34 |
T129 |
11209-11842 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The inhibitory‐type FcγRs, FcγRIIb1 and FcγRIIb2, whose expression is cell lineage restricted, modulate the ITAM signaling of the BCR or the activating‐type FcγRs, respectively.11 Their function is dependent on the immunoreceptor tyrosine inhibition motif in their cytoplasmic tail.32, 33 This checkpoint action requires that FcγRIIbs are coaggregated with the tyrosine‐phosphorylated ITAM‐signaling receptor complex which results also in immunoreceptor tyrosine inhibition motif tyrosine phosphorylation and consequential recruitment of lipid or protein tyrosine phosphatases that powerfully dampen the ITAM‐induced cell activation. |
