Abstract
• Polymethylmethacrylate lenses with nylon loops activate complement in normal human serum and provoke generation of C5-derived peptides with chemotactic activity for polymorphonuclear leukocytes. These observations may explain one aspect of the pathway of implantinduced inflammation and its clinical consequences.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
