A pro-inflammatory role of C5L2 in C5a-primed neutrophils for ANCA-induced activation.

BACKGROUND:The complement system is crucial for the development of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). In particular, C5a and its receptor on neutrophils, CD88, play a central role. The functional role of the second receptor of C5a, C5L2, remains unclear. In the c...
