Soluble collectin-12 mediates C3-independent docking of properdin that activates the alternative pathway of complement
Properdin stabilizes the alternative C3 convertase (C3bBb), whereas its role as pattern-recognition molecule mediating complement activation is disputed for decades. Previously, we have found that soluble collectin-12 (sCL-12) synergizes complement alternative pathway (AP) activation. However, wheth...
