Receptor/ligandCell distribution/response
CR1/C3b, C4bRBC, PMN, monocytes, B and T cells, clearance of immune complexes, phagocytosis, facilitates cleavage of C3b to C3dg by Factor 1
CR2/C3dgB Cells, regulate B cell proliferation
CR4PMN, platelets, B cells, leucocyte/endothelial cell interaction
CR3/iC3b, ICAM-1, factor XaPMN, monocyte, phagocytosis of microorganisms, respiratory burst activity
C5aPMN, monocytes, T cells, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, hepatocytes, fibroblasts, CNS, chemotaxis, degranulation, hyperadherence, respiratory burst, cytokine production (IL-6, IL-8)
C3aMast cells, eosinophils, histamine release, IL-6 production
