Abstract
Bovine pulmonary endothelial cells do not possess receptors for the 3b component of complement (C3b) or for the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G. The lack of these receptors may help explain the nonthrombogenic function of endothelial cells. Our findings rule out the possibility that endothelial cells participate in pulmonary immune complex disease through the binding of C3b or Fc fragments.Entities:
