Human Neutrophils Respond to Complement Activation and Inhibition in Microfluidic Devices

Complement activation is key to anti-microbial defenses by directly acting on microbes and indirectly by triggering cellular immune responses. Complement activation may also contribute to the pathogenesis of numerous inflammatory and immunological diseases. Consequently, intense research focuses on...
