1 Nov 1995
Abstract excerpt
The C fragment C5a exerts its important physiologic and pathologic effects through interaction with a specific C5a receptor (C5aR) which is highly expressed on polymorphonuclear leukocytes and some other leukocytes. The presence of this receptor on epithelia and endothelia has recently been documented, raising the possibility that these other cells might also respond to locally generated C5a. C has been...
