Abstract
In complement-free neutrophil monolayer assays pathological levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) were found to promote greater phagocytosis of metabolically-active conidia of Aspergillus fumigatus than dormant spores. This suggests that metabolically-active conidia bind CRP which facilitates in vitro phagocytosis by human neutrophils.Entities:
