This flashcard describes the complement receptor that is part of the B-cell co-receptor complex. It binds to C3b breakdown products and enhances B-cell antigen sensitivity, and is also the entry point for the Epstein-Barr virus in B cells.
Receptor de complemento parte del complejo co-receptor de células B. Se une a antígenos recubiertos con productos de degradación de C3b (especialmente C3dg) y potencia la sensibilidad al antígeno al entrecruzar el receptor de células B. También es el receptor que utiliza el virus de Epstein-Barr para infectar células B.
| Front | Complement receptor that is part of the B-cell co-receptor complex. It binds to antigens coated with breakdown products of C3b, especially C3dg, and, by cross-linking the B-cell receptor, enhances sensitivity to antigen at least 100-fold. It is also the receptor used by the Epstein–Barr virus to infect B cells |
