Dendritic Cell-Mediated Phagocytosis but Not Immune Activation Is Enhanced by Plasmin.

Removal of dead cells in the absence of concomitant immune stimulation is essential for tissue homeostasis. We recently identified an injury-induced protein misfolding event that orchestrates the plasmin-dependent proteolytic degradation of necrotic cells. As impaired clearance of dead cells by the...
