Crosstalk between TGF-β1 and complement activation augments epithelial injury in pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]
The epithelial complement inhibitory proteins (CIPs) cluster of differentiation 46 and 55 (CD46 and CD55) regulate circulating immune complex-mediated complement activation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Our previous studies demonstrated that IL-
