The low affinity receptor for IgE (CD23) in human: a multifunctional receptor/cytokine?
Abstract
This review relates the molecular and the functional aspects of the low affinity IgE receptor for IgE (CD23), and the possible cooperation with additional cytokines, lipid mediators and/or pharmacological agents (i.e. beta 2-adrenoceptor agonists etc ...) that appear to be involved in the regulation of the IgE-dependent immune and inflammatory responses in human. The possible contribution of CD23 to the initiation and the development of various diseases is also discussed.
