Pathogen Recognition by the Long Pentraxin PTX3

<table>Model of the PTX3-dependent opsonisation of <i>A. fumigatus</i> conidia. In the presence of PTX3-opsonized conidia, Fc<i>γ</i>RIIA induces inside-out CD11b/CD18 activation, recruitment to the phagocytic cup, and amplification of C3b-opsonized conidia phagocytosis.</table>
