Abstract excerpt
Inhibition of C5a by antibodies has been demonstrated to dramatically improve survival in various sepsis models in mice and rats. The structural basis of C5a mediated bioactivity and C5a antibody mediated neutralization are of interesting to be investigated. In the previous study, we obtained a novel functional mouse antibody named as F20. With computer-guided modeling method, the 3-D theoretical structure of F20...
