Serum amyloid A (SAA) is regarded as an important acute phase protein in coronary artery diseases. However, its involvement in the immune response of atherosclerosis is poorly understood. The present study was designed to investigate the influence of SAA on the secretion of long pentraxin 3 (PTX3),
## Abstract ## Objective Phagocytosis of apoptotic cells can be facilitated by complement components and short pentraxins, such as serum amyloid P (SAP). In contrast, the long pentraxin PTX3 was shown to inhibit phagocytosis of apoptotic Jurkat cells by dendritic cells and to bind late apoptotic p
