Complement Receptors and B Lymphocytes
Critical Reviews™ in Immunology, 2004Most 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
2003Complement 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 in HIV infection
Immunological Reviews, 1997SummaryThe 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.

Regulation of Macrophage Functions by Complement, Complement Receptors, and IgG-Fc Receptors [PDF]
, 1984 Membrane receptors provide the essential recognition function required for control of macrophage responses to changes in their cellular environment. Considering the complexity and number of different functions performed by macrophages, it is likely that only a small proportion of the total number of different types of receptors are presently known ...

Complement Receptor Lymphocytes in the Rabbit
The Journal of Immunology, 1976Abstract In an attempt to determine the effect of immunization on the size and nature of the complement receptor lymphocyte (CRL) and surface immunoglobulin (SIg)-bearing lymphocyte (B cell) populations, rabbits were injected with 1 mg alum-precipitated keyhole limpet hemocyanin and the cells of the draining popliteal lymph nodes were ...

Complement Receptors, Adhesion, and Phagocytosis
2008Phagocytosis 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.

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 ...

Complement activation and complement receptors in systemic lupus erythematosus
Springer Seminars in Immunopathology, 1986The activation of complement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was first documented in the early 1950's [52]. Since that time many excellent studies of the biology of complement in SLE have been reported and the general subject has been recently reviewed [3, 13, 49].

THE ROLE OF COMPLEMENT AND COMPLEMENT RECEPTORS IN INDUCTION AND REGULATION OF IMMUNITY
Annual Review of Immunology, 1998▪ Abstract Covalent attachment of activated complement C3 (C3d) to antigen links innate and adaptive immunity by targeting antigen to follicular dendritic cells (FDC) and B cells via specific receptors CD21 and CD35. Recent characterization of knockout mice deficient in complement components C3, C4, or the receptors CD21 and CD35 as well as ...
