Although apoptotic-cell clearance can occur in the absence of serum, this paper demonstrates that complement components, notably C3bi, and the complement receptors CR3 and CR4 of macrophages can participate in the process.

CD36 is required for phagocytosis of apoptotic cells by human macrophages that use either a phosphatidylserine receptor or the vitronectin receptor (alpha(v)beta(3)). J Immunol. 161:1998;6250-6257. In this paper, β-1,3-glucan stimulation of human monocyte-derived macrophages resulted in their utilisation of a PS-receptor that was functional in apoptotic-cell clearance. Of particular significance to the present review was the finding that apoptotic lymphocytes were better cleared by a CD14-dependent pathway than were apoptotic neutrophils.
