The receptor for the iC3b fragment of complement, CR3, is involved in monocytes/macrophages and neutrophils phagocytosis. CR3 is known to interact with the low affinity receptor for Ig (CD16) and previous studies have suggested that this cooperation modulates CR3 functions. Herein we have studied the effect of CD16 on the ability of human monocytes CR3 to bind to iC3b. We show that iC3b binding to CR3 is inhibited by several reagents that are known to dissociate the CD16/CR3 complex. In addition, treatment of monocytes with soluble CD16 inhibited iC3b binding to CR3. Together, these data indicate that iC3b binding to monocyte CR3 is up-regulated by an interaction between membrane CD16 and CR3. The implication of CD16 in CR3 binding to iC3b was also analyzed after monocyte differentiation into dendritic cells (DC). Differentiation of monocytes into DC abrogates the cooperation between CD16 and CR3, due to a loss of CD16/CR3 interaction. In accordance, this phenomenon is associated with a lack of iC3b binding to DC. As a consequence, deposition of iC3b on apoptotic cells does not modify their phagocytosis by DC. In conclusion, we demonstrate a cooperation between CD16 and CR3 that favors iC3b binding to CR3 but is lost on DC.

Considerable advances have been achieved in the application of nanomaterials for immunotherapies, yet the precise immune effects induced by protein corona remain elusive. Here, we explore the formation mechanism and immune regulation process of protein corona in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) mouse models using commercialized iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs), with different surface modifications, including an FDA-approved variant. Using macrophages depleted or Complement Component 3 (C3) knockout mice, we demonstrate that carboxymethyl dextran-coated IONP (IONP-COOH) reduces leukaemia burden.

NK cells and macrophages constitute the predominant immune cell subsets in the decidua during the first trimester of pregnancy, with macrophages typically adopting an anti-inflammatory phenotype. Conversely, in the third trimester, macrophages undergo a shift towards a pro-inflammatory phenotype concurrent with a reduction in NK cell numbers. The direct regulatory impact of NK cells on macrophage phenotype remains poorly explored.

is the leading cause of wound infections in humans following animals' bites or scratches. This bacterium is also commonly found in the respiratory tract of many mammals and can cause serious diseases resulting in the brutal rapid death of infected animals, especially cattle. To prevent these infections in cattle, a subunit-based vaccine utilizing the surface lipoprotein PmSLP was developed and showed remarkable protection with a single dose administration.

Aptamers are short, single-stranded oligonucleotides that selectively bind to target biomolecules. Although they generally exhibit good binding specificity, their affinities are often limited because of the relative lack of hydrophobic groups in nucleic acids. Chemically modified nucleotides incorporating hydrophobic structures into uracil have been synthesized to address this obstacle.

The immune system plays a critical role in protecting the host against pathogens. However, mechanisms for evading the immune system have evolved in pathogens, altering their surface proteins or causing the expression of enzymes that interfere with the immune response. These strategies cause pathogens to escape detection and destruction by the immune system, thereby inducing severe infections.
