After the discovery of the C5a receptor C5aR1, C5aR2 is the second receptor found to bind C5a and its des-arginine form. As a heptahelical G protein-coupled receptor but devoid of the intracellular G signal, C5aR2 is special and confusing. Ramifications and controversies about C5aR2 are under debate since its identification, from putative ligands and cellular localization to intracellular signals and pathological roles in inflammation and immunity. The ruleless and even conflicting pro- or anti-inflammatory role of C5aR2 in animal models of diverse diseases makes one bewildered. This review summarizes reports on C5aR2, tries to clear up available evidence on these four controversial aspects, and delineates C5aR2 function(s). It also summarizes available toolboxes for C5aR2 study.

The activation of complement C5a-C5aR1 axis in astrocytes facilitates the neuropathogenesis due to EV-A71 infection by upregulating CXCL1.

Unlabelled: Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is a common small RNA virus that is highly neuroinvasive. Emerging evidence indicates that the complement fragment C5a and its receptor C5aR1 are important drivers of neuroinflammation. However, the potential role of the C5a-C5aR1 axis in EV-A71 encephalitis remains largely elusive.

Background: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder characterised by autoantibodies (abs) targeting proteins at the neuromuscular junction, primarily the acetylcholine receptor (AChR). While the role of AChR-binding abs is well-established, the pathogenicity and clinical relevance of AChR-blocking antibodies in MG, and their association with complement system, remain less understood.
Aims: This study aims to provide comprehensive insights into the prevalence and interplay of AChR-blocking antibodies and the complement system in an Argentinian MG cohort, investigating their relationships with disease activity.

The receptor for IgM has been identified a few years ago, but its expression by bovine mononuclear cells has not yet been studied. We used rabbit antibodies against bovine FcμR to begin to fill this gap. Anti-FcμR antibodies bound to B lymphocytes and monocytes, although less than to neutrophils.

The precise mechanisms by which the complement system contributes to the establishment of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and promotes tumor progression remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the expression and function of complement C5a receptor 1 (C5aR1) in human and mouse cancer-associated dendritic cells (DCs). First, we observed an overexpression of C5aR1 in tumor-infiltrating DCs, compared to DCs from blood or spleen.
