Mol Immunol 44:1105-14. 2007..Although deposition of additional C3b molecules is necessary to convert a C3 convertase to a high affinity C5 convertase, the additional C3b molecules play no role in the regulation of C5 convertase by C4BP...
Interaction of human factor H with PspC of Streptococcus pneumoniaeSandhya Dave
Departments of Microbiology, The University of Texas Health Science Center, Tyler, TX 75708, USA
