C3 promotes clearance of Klebsiella pneumoniae by A549 epithelial cells.

Infection and immunity - 1 Mar 2004

de Astorza Beatriz, Cortés Guadalupe, Crespí Catalina, Saus Carles, Rojo José María, Albertí Sebastián

Abstract excerpt

The airway epithelium represents a primary site for contact between microbes and their hosts. To assess the role of complement in this event, we studied the interaction between the A549 cell line derived from human alveolar epithelial cells and a major nosocomial pathogen, Klebsiella pneumoniae,...
