PENTRAXINS IN COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION AND REGULATION

Pentraxins in Complement Activation and Regulation

The complement is the first line of immune defense system involved in elimination of invading pathogens and dying host cells.Its activation is mainly triggered by immune complexes or pattern recognition molecules (PRMs) upon recognition against non-self or altered self-cells, such as C1q, collectins, ficolins, and properdin.Recent findings have int
