Interaction of C1q with IgG1, C-reactive Protein and Pentraxin 3: Mutational Studies Using Recombinant Globular Head Modules of Human C1q A, B, and C Chains
11 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
C1q is the first subcomponent of the classical complement pathway that can interact with a range of biochemically and structurally diverse self and nonself ligands. The globular domain of C1q (gC1q), which is the ligand-recognition domain, is a heterotrimeric structure composed of the C-terminal regions of A (ghA), B (ghB), and C (ghC) chains. The expression and functional characterization of ghA, ghB, and ghC...
