Properdin deficiency and meningococcal disease—identifying those most at risk

1 Nov 1999

Abstract excerpt

The complement system plays an important role in host defence against a variety of microorganisms and also makes a crucial contribution to the generation of humoral immune responses. Over the past 30 years a wide variety of inherited complement deficiency states have been described and careful evaluation of these deficiencies has contributed not only to an understanding of the physiological function of the...
