This study shows plasma ficolins enable liver macrophages to capture blood-borne bacteria by recognizing capsular polysaccharides, enhancing immune response against encapsulated bacteria.

This study shows CRP helps liver macrophages capture and eliminate blood bacteria by activating the complement system, enhancing immune response.

This study shows influenza virus weakens neutrophil capture of low-virulence Streptococcus pneumoniae by reducing capsule receptor-mediated complement activation, enhancing bacterial survival and virulence.
