Abstract excerpt
Hereditary haemochromatosis (HH) monocytes have a decreased antibody mediated phagocytosis of rabbit erythrocytes and Staphylococcus aureus compared to control monocytes. In order to investigate whether this decrease could be attributed to a different level of expression of Fc gamma receptors (Fc gamma R) or complement receptors (CR), which cooperate even in the absence of complement, the surface expression of...
