Human Complement Factor H Binds to Outer Membrane Protein Rck of Salmonella
12 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
Serum resistance, or resistance to complement-mediated killing, is a key virulence property of microbial pathogens. Rck is a 17-kDa outer membrane protein encoded on the virulence plasmid of Salmonella enterica serovars Typhimurium and Enteritidis.
