Solubilization and Partial Characterization of an Activity Regulating Complement Activation from Membranes of Raji and Tonsil Cells
Complement is one of the major innate nonspecific mechanisms for host defense in serum. More than a dozen proteins have been isolated from serum which have a function in either the activation or regulation of complement action. Complement is similar to the coagulation sequence in that it comprises a...

| Summary: | Complement is one of the major innate nonspecific mechanisms for host defense in serum. More than a dozen proteins have been isolated from serum which have a function in either the activation or regulation of complement action. Complement is similar to the coagulation sequence in that it comprises a number of precursor proenzymes in plasma that are sequentially cleaved to generate biologically and enzymatically active proteins. |
