These receptors are activated by C5a, an anaphylatoxin produced during the complement activation ... its importance as an immunomodulator in innate immunity[4]. Finally, protocols for screening ...

These therapies employ a different branch of the immune system called innate immunity that can help overcome cancer’s ability to evade immune recognition early in an immune response. By ...

CRP provides a link between the innate and adaptive immune systems by activation of complement and interaction with Fcγ receptors. Basal levels of CRP in the serum are influenced by polymorphisms ...

How does the immune system respond ... the cells that are infected with the dengue virus. The innate immune response activates the complement system, a response that helps the antibodies and ...

The Bachovchin lab uses chemical and cell biology approaches to study important questions in innate immunity. We are particularly interested in characterizing the molecular mechanisms controlling the ...

The complement system is a critical part of innate immunity and plays a central role in host homeostasis and defense against pathogens. Responsible for the conversion of pro-complement factor D to ...
