Abstract excerpt
Nearly half of the proteins in the complement system serve in regulation. Control at the central step of C3 activation is provided by an orchestrated interplay of membrane and plasma regulators. A model system employing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with human regulators was employed to assist in making functional comparisons. Also, in this experimental setup, the pathway and magnitude of...
