C1q and phagocytosis: the perfect complement to a good meal.

abstract：:The immunosuppressive activity of interleukin-10 (IL-10) makes this cytokine a potentially important clinical tool to reduce inflammatory responses in various diseases. Its efficacy as a therapeutic modality is dependent on the responsiveness of immune cells. We report that macrophages from mice chronically infected w...
