Description:
Circulating Immune Complexes (CIC) are formed by the interaction of antibodies with immunogenic antigens. Immune Complexes with only a slight excess of antibody and antigen are soluble and activate complement. CIC formation may be viewed as host defense directed against foreign antigens. Under normal circumstances CIC are cleared by phagocytosis. If CIC escape phagocytotic clearance they may be deposited in endothelial or vascular structures, thus provoking an  inflammatory response leading to tissue  damage. CIC have been associated with an increasing variety of diseases, such as autoimmune, rheumatic, infectious, metabolic, renal, hematological and neoplastic diseases.
