The role of oxygen radicals in immune complex injury.
In this review we will summarize our current understanding of the mediation of immune complex induced tissue injury. Comparisons will be made between the mediation of IgG versus IgA immune complex injury with emphasis on the role that reactive oxygen products derived from leukocytic phagocytic cells play in the initiation of the tissue injury.
