Substrate specificities of the protease of mouse serum Ra-reactive factor.

Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950) - 1 Mar 1995

Abstract excerpt

Ra-reactive factor (RaRF) is a serum bactericidal factor whose function seems to be to activate C in a manner similar to that of C1, but with activation triggered by binding to bacterial polysaccharides instead of to immune complexes. It is composed of multiple polysaccharide-binding subunits ass...
