title: Complement and phagocytes - A complicated interaction.
abstract: Mohamed Daha and I share a common interest in innate immunity. Working in institutes only 25 miles away from each other, that meant ample opportunity and relevance for collaboration. And so we did. Moreover, we have both been members of boards and councils of Dutch national organizations, and we have also become good friends. In this short recollection, I look back on 40 years of common activities in complement research and friendship.
