Abstract excerpt
The third component of complement (C3) exists in two main allotypic forms, C3S and C3F, which can be distinguished at the molecular level using a variation of the polymerase chain reaction. An increased frequency of the C3F allele has been noted in a number of autoimmune and inflammatory conditio...
