C. Fc?RIIIA (CD16)
D. Fc?RI
E. Fc?RII (CD23)
F. Fc?R (CD89)
G. FcRn
Ig receptor on B cells that mediates feedback inhibition


ANS: B. FcγRIIB (CD32) is a low-affinity IgG receptor expressed on B lymphocytes. When antigen-IgG complexes simultaneously bind to membrane Ig and to FcγRIIB, phosphatases activated by FcγRIIB block activating signals from the B cell antigen receptor complex.
