Abstract excerpt
The classical complement activation cascade of the immune system is initiated by multivalent binding of its first component, C1q, to the Fc region of immunoglobulins in immune complexes. The C1q binding site on mouse IgG2b has been shown to contain the amino acids Glu 318, Lys 320 and Lys 322 in the C(H)2 domain (Duncan, A.R., Winter, G.,1988. The binding site for C1q on IgG. Nature 322 738-740). Identical or...
