Emerging patterns in complement-mediated pathogen recognition
Article Abstract:
The role of the complement system in response to blood-borne pathogens is highlighted. Additional levels of regulation in complement-mediated pathogen recognition and clearance are demonstrated and the findings have important implications for complement activation in peripheral immune response and immune clearance.
