Dissecting Sites Important for Complement Regulatory Activity in Membrane Cofactor Protein (MCP; CD46)
1 Dec 2000
Abstract excerpt
Membrane cofactor protein (MCP; CD46), a widely distributed regulator of complement activation, is a cofactor for the factor I-mediated degradation of C3b and C4b deposited on host cells. MCP possesses four extracellular, contiguous complement control protein modules (CCPs) important for this inhibitory activity. The goal of the present study was to delineate functional sites within these modules. We employed...
