Abstract excerpt
(Beta2-glycoprotein I (beta2GPI) is a plasma protein that plays an important role in the antigenic specificity of antiphospholipid autoantibodies (aPL). These antibodies are associated with an increased risk for thrombosis and recurrent foetal loss in humans. Crystallographic analysis of beta2GPI showed that its five complement control protein (CCP) or 'sushi' domains are arranged in an elongated, fish-hook...
