CRIg mediates early Kupffer cell responses to adenovirus
6 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
Whereas adenoviral vectors are known to activate the complement cascade, leading to fixation of C3 proteins to the viral capsid, the consequences of this activation for viral clearance from the circulation are not known. Liver KCs, the macrophage population responsible for early uptake and elimination of many blood-borne pathogens, express CRIg, a complement receptor for C3 proteins. Here, we find that CRIg is...
