abstract：:Plasma fibronectin (Fn) induces phagocytosis of C3b-opsonized sheep erythrocytes (EC3b) by human peripheral blood monocytes. However, Fn does not induce erythrophagocytosis of EC3b by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), unless the PMN have been exposed to C5a or N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine. Because o...

The risk allele is thought to function by diminishing antigen-receptor signals responsible for negative selection of autoreactive lymphocytes. We now show that PTPN22 is markedly overexpressed in c...
