Assays for Membrane Complement Receptors

Current Protocols in Immunology, 1994
AbstractLeukocytes express several types of receptors for activated products of the complement (C) system. This unit describes assays for a subset of these receptors: those specific for fixed fragments of C3 (CR1, CR2, CR3, and CR4). Although the assays have been designed for tests of human C receptors, they can often be carried out with rodent (e.g ...

Complement Receptors in Shock and Transplantation

Archives of Surgery, 1993
Over the last decade, elegant studies of the basic biologic characteristics of inflammation and tissue injury have implicated leukocyte-mediated vascular and tissue injury in the pathogenesis of a wide variety of immune and inflammatory clinical disorders, including allograft rejection, adult respiratory distress syndrome, and shock. Recognition of the

Complement receptor structure and function

Immunology Today, 1985
Membrane complement receptors (CRs) are now recognized as important cell-bound components of the complement system and research into the structure and function of complement receptors is one of the main thrusts of current complement research.

Complement receptors in HIV infection

Immunological Reviews, 1997
SummaryThe complement system plays an important role in the antimicrobial defense of the organism. Its components recognize a large variety of pathogens and target them for destruction, either directly by formation of a membrane attack complex or indirectly by recruiting phagocytic cells.

Complement Receptors and B Lymphocytes

Critical Reviews™ in Immunology, 2004
Most of the biological processes depend on cell-to-cell and protein-to-cell interactions, which take place through receptors present on the cell surface. Various physiological systems are linked by such interactions, as is the case for innate and adaptative immune response.

Complement Receptor 2 and Autoimmunity

2003
Complement receptor 2 (CR2/CD21) plays a major role in the immune response by linking innate and adaptive immunity to foreign pathogens and proteins. In addition, several lines of evidence strongly support a role for CR2 in the maintenance of tolerance to self-antigens.

Complement Receptors, Adhesion, and Phagocytosis

2008
Phagocytosis is an essential component of host defense against invading pathogens. Although many cell types can ingest particulate material, "professional phagocytes" perform this function much more efficiently than other cells because they express unique membrane proteins and signal transduction mechanisms.

Complement Receptor Type 1

1992
This review will focus on the complement receptor type 1 (CR1, CD35) expressed by erythrocytes and will cover its structure, molecular biology, and function as a membrane inhibitor of complement activation. The CR1 present on phagocytic cells and lymphocytes has similar functions in regulation of complement activation and serves as a receptor ...
