Existence of Different but Overlapping IgG- and IgM-Binding Sites on the Globular Domain of Human C1q
1 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
C1q is the first subcomponent of the classical complement pathway that binds antigen-bound IgG or IgM and initiates complement activation via association of serine proteases C1r and C1s. 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...
