Zusammenfassung:Inflammation and phagocytosis are highly complex events involving many humoral and cellular factors, with complement components playing a key role. As described here by Mike Frank and Louis Fries, complement peptides trigger cell function, aid in the recognition o f invading pathogens and regulate the phagocytic process via interactions with specific cell surface receptors.
