Complement diversity: a mechanism for generating immune diversity?

Immunology today - 1 Nov 1998

Sunyer J O, Zarkadis I K, Lambris J D

Abstract excerpt

Unlike mammalian species, several cold-blooded species have been shown to possess multiple forms of complement components. The multiple forms of C3 characterized in several fish species can bind with different specificities to various complement-activating surfaces. Here, Oriol Sunyer, Ioannis Za...
