The Third Component of Complement Chemistry and Biology

The Third Component of Complement Chemistry and Biology / edited by John D. Lambris.

The third component of complement, C3, is one of the most versatile proteins and an important participant in immune surveillance and immune response pathways. Its multifunctio­ nality is based on its ability to interact specifically with multiple serum complement proteins, cell surface receptors, an...
