A complement factor B-like cDNA clone from the zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio)
1 Apr 1996
Abstract excerpt
An important molecule in the activation of the complement system in vertebrates is factor B, a serine protease with a molecular mass of 95,000. Factor B and the complement component C2 are thought to have arisen by gene duplication. In mammals and in Xenopus the factor B gene is linked to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), whereas in domestic fowl it segregates independently of the MHC. Here we describe...
