    • Complement component 5 does not interfere with physiological hemostasis but is essential for Escherichia coli-induced coagulation accompanied by Toll-like receptor 4

      There is a close cross‐talk between complement, Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) and coagulation. The role of the central complement component 5 (C5) in physiological and pathophysiological hemostasis has not, however, been fully elucidated. This study examined the effects of C5 in normal hemostasis and in <i>Escherichia coli</i>‐induced coagulation and tissue factor (TF) up‐regulation. Fresh whole blood ...

    • Phagocytosis of live and dead Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in human whole blood is markedly reduced by combined inhibition of C5aR1 and CD14

      <i>Background</i> - Sepsis is a dysregulated host response to infection. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of complement- and CD14 inhibition on phagocytosis of live and dead Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria in human whole blood.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> - Lepirudin-anticoagulated blood was incubated with live or dead <i>E. coli</i> or <i>S. aureus</i> at 37 °C for 120 min ...
