Complement protein C1q binds soluble antigens of Leishmania major (SLA) via the globular head region, activates the classical pathway, and modulates macrophage immune response
Leishmania species cause a range of moderate to severe diseases affecting cutaneous to visceral regions, thus having a great impact on morbidity and mortality. Leishmania is initially dealt with by human innate immune system immediately after its entry into the body, primarily by the complement syst...
