Exploiting a novel conformational switch to control innate immunity mediated by complement protein C3a

Complement C3a is an important protein in innate and adaptive immunity, but its roles in vivo are unclear. Here the authors develop novel chemical agonists and antagonists for the C3a receptor, and show that they modulate mast cell degranulation and inflammation in a rat paw edema model
