Complement genetics and host defence.

Zentralblatt fur Bakteriologie : international journal of medical microbiology - 1 Dec 1990

Lachmann P J

Abstract excerpt

There is a surprisingly high frequency of allelic variation in complement proteins. The best candidate for a true selective polymorphism is that of C3. For C4 and factor B within the MHC it is more difficult to identify the effects of individual alleles. No evidence suggests other alleles of C4 (...
