Abstract:
Fc receptor-like 1 (FcRL1), a co-receptor specifically expressed on the surface of B-cells, plays a pivotal role in modulating B-cell immune activation and orchestrating humoral immune responses. This comprehensive review systematically synthesizes research advances in FcRL1 mediated transmembrane signal transduction mechanisms, its regulatory capacity in humoral immune responses, expression patterns during B-cell differentiation and development, and expression dynamics in B-cell malignancies, while critically evaluating the therapeutic potential of FcRL1 as a cellular targeting candidate.

Diversity of Antigen Receptors
Before encountering any antigen, lymphocytes express these receptors. On B cells, the antigen receptor is a membrane-bound antibody molecule called BCR; on T cells, it is a T cell receptor or TCR. B and T cell receptors are composed of two...
