"Conditional absence of C3aR1/C5aR1 on neutrophils lowered serum BAFF levels, led to fewer Peyer’s patch germinal center B cells, reduced germinal center B cells IgA class-switching, and lowered fecal IgA levels. Together, the results indicate that sequential activation of complement on neutrophils crucially supports humoral TI and mucosal IgA responses through upregulating neutrophil production of BAFF."
