The imitation game: a viral strategy to subvert the complement system

7 Jun 2020

Abstract excerpt

Viruses are obligate parasites of cellular hosts and therefore are constantly confronted with the host immune system. Evasion of innate immunity mechanisms by viruses is paramount for the establishment of their infection. The complement system can directly neutralize viruses and also augments adaptive immune responses against them. This system, therefore, is central to host innate immune surveillance, and viruses...
