In the present study, the binding human neutrophils to Toxocara canis larvae was examined in vitro. It was found that IgG and/or the C3 component of complement were able to enhance the attachment of the cells to the parasites. This was associated with the generation of strong chemiluminescence reactions. Despite the binding of the cells, the larvae were able to escape and to maintain their infectivity. This was apparent, since the parasites could survive and migrate into different organs including the brain after having been inoculated into mice.

D003176	Complement C3	A glycoprotein that is central in both the classical and the alternative pathway of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION. C3 can be cleaved into COMPLEMENT C3A and COMPLEMENT C3B, spontaneously at low level or by C3 CONVERTASE at high level. The smaller fragment C3a is an ANAPHYLATOXIN and mediator of local inflammatory process. The larger fragment C3b binds with C3 convertase to form C5 convertase.
