Neisseria gonorrhoeae co-opts C4b-binding protein to enhance complement-independent survival from neutrophils

L. M. Werner, A. Alcott, F. Mohlin, J. C. Ray, M. Belcher Dufrisne, A. Smirnov, L. Columbus, A. M. Blom, A. K. Criss

This study shows that Neisseria gonorrhoeae uses C4b-binding protein to survive neutrophil attacks without complement involvement, enhancing its persistence in human mucosal environments.

Phagocytosis via complement receptor 3 enables microbes to evade killing by neutrophils

A. Smirnov, K. P. Daily, M. C. Gray, S. A. Ragland, L. M. Werner, M. B. Johnson, J. C. Eby, E. L. Hewlett, R. P. Taylor, A. K. Criss

This study shows that CR3-mediated phagocytosis allows pathogens to avoid neutrophil killing by suppressing ROS production and forming immature phagosomes.
