Complement Factor H related proteins and their biological role during bacterial infection

2017-01-01

Abstract excerpt

<i>Neisseria meningitidis</i> is a major cause of meningitis and sepsis worldwide despite available polysaccharide and protein vaccines. Individuals with rare defects in the terminal complement pathway are susceptible to meningococcal disease but further genetic factors that contribute to disease susceptibility are less well understood. A genome wide association study has linked polymorphisms in the Complement Fac...
