Abstract excerpt
The enhancing effects of the complement system for humoral immunity have primarily focused upon the recognition of complement-bound foreign antigens by a co-receptor complex of the antigen-specific B cell receptor (BCR) and complement receptor 2 (Cr2). In vivo experiments using Cr2 gene deficient mice (which lack the expression of both the Cr1 and Cr2 proteins) do demonstrate depressed humoral responses to...
