Complement Receptors and Their Role in Leukocyte Recruitment and Phagocytosis
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The complement system is deeply embedded in our physiology and immunity. Complement activation generates a multitude of molecules that converge simultaneously on the opsonization of a target for phagocytosis and activation of the immune system via ...

Structural Immunology of Complement Receptors 3 and 4
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Complement receptors (CR) 3 and 4 belong to the family of beta-2 (CD18) integrins. CR3 and CR4 are often co-expressed in the myeloid subsets of leukocytes, but they are also found in NK cells and activated T and B lymphocytes.

Role of the complement system in the tumor microenvironment
Cancer Cell International, 2019 The complement system has traditionally been considered a component of innate immunity against invading pathogens and “nonself” cells. Recent studies have demonstrated the immunoregulatory functions of complement activation in the tumor microenvironment (

Biomimetic carbon nanopolymers ANM-NPs act on mannose receptors and complement receptors to promote tumor antigen presentation [PDF]
Journal for ImmunoTherapy of CancerBackground Enhancing immunogenicity and antigen-presentation efficiency is critical for tumor vaccine development. While yeast-surface glycoprotein side chains can improve antigen presentation, their ability to deliver tumor antigens remains limited ...

Complement Evasion Strategies of Viruses: An Overview
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Being a major first line of immune defense, the complement system keeps a constant vigil against viruses. Its ability to recognize large panoply of viruses and virus-infected cells, and trigger the effector pathways, results in neutralization of viruses ...

An Immunoregulatory Role for Complement Receptors in Murine Models of Breast Cancer
Antibodies, 2021 The complement system has demonstrated roles in regulating tumor growth, although these may differ between tumor types. The current study used two murine breast cancer models (EMT6 and 4T1) to investigate whether pharmacological targeting of receptors ...
