  Fcr - Fc receptor
IgG Fc receptor II (Fc gamma RII) on human monocytes is polymorphic with respect to its appearance on gels after isoelectric focusing and with respect to its ability to mediate T lymphocyte proliferation induced by murine anti-CD3 mAb of the IgG1 isotype (i.e., its ability to bind murine IgG1).
Both forms of recombinant human D-factor were active on the murine myeloid leukemia cell line M1 in a dose- and time-dependent manner for the inhibition of [3H]thymidine incorporation, and also induced phagocytosis, Fc receptor expression, and prostaglandin E2 synthesis by M1 cells.
Human resting B lymphocytes entered a state of sustained proliferation when incubated with both the mouse fibroblastic Ltk- cell line that had been transfected with the human Fc receptor (Fc gamma RII/CDw32) and monoclonal antibodies to CD40.

Co-hybridization of MYCN (pNb-9), a chromosome 17 library (pBS-17), and a chromosome 17 centr omere probe (p17H8) showed that the two HSRs in N206 were the result of MYCN amplification and that they were integrated in the long arms of chromosomes 17 (Fig.4k).
When comparing the size of the translocated chromosome 17 segment with the normal chromosomes 17 in the 1;17, 11;1 7, and other chromosome 17 rearrangements, it appears that nearly the entire 17q arm is always translocated, provided no chromosome 17 material was duplicated (Fig.4).
