| Publisher Description: Complement is an essential feature of an animal's ability to develop immunity to infection. This volume summarizes present understanding of this complex system in terms of the structures of the protein components and their activation mechanisms. The genetics of these proteins is described together with recent contributions by recombinant DNA techniques to the organization of the genes of the three complement components that are present in the major histocompatibility complex. |
