Did you know pathogenic bacteria can target inhibitory receptors to evade phagocyte responses? A recent study from our lab and that of Alex McCarthy (Imperial College) shows how Group B strep hijacks neutrophil LILRB3 to evade antibody-mediated immunity. 👇nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

In a #TopRead from @bvglab at @KStateResearch, data show that Efb-C binding to C3b exerts additional inhibitory effects on the central complement components beyond blocking formation of the C3 proconvertase alone. Learn more: ow.ly/yzsN50Z19xU.
New work from our lab published in @J_Immunol!
In a study led by @HuiquanDuan, we found that conformation-dependent recruitment of FHR-2 to the complement component C3b leads to synergistic inhibition of the terminal pathway. Link below 👇
