C1q binding to surface-bound IgG is stabilized by C1r <sub>2</sub> s <sub>2</sub> proteases
2021-02-10
Abstract excerpt
Complement is an important effector mechanism for antibody-mediated clearance of infections and tumor cells. Upon binding to target cells, the antibody’s constant (Fc) domain recruits complement component C1 to initiate a proteolytic cascade that generates lytic pores and stimulates phagocytosis. The C1 complex (C1qr 2 s 2 ) consists of the large recognition protein C1q and a heterotetramer of proteases C1r and...
