Vitamin D upregulates the macrophage complement receptor immunoglobulin in innate immunity to microbial pathogens

Annabelle Small et al. report a new role for vitamin D in innate immunity. They find that the vitamin D metabolite 1,25D increases phagocytosis and expression of complement receptor immunoglobulin (CRIg) by macrophages and that treatment of macrophages with a toll like receptor 2 agonist promotes co...

Sumario:Annabelle Small et al. report a new role for vitamin D in innate immunity. They find that the vitamin D metabolite 1,25D increases phagocytosis and expression of complement receptor immunoglobulin (CRIg) by macrophages and that treatment of macrophages with a toll like receptor 2 agonist promotes conversion of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 to 1,25D.
