The role of C1, C1-inactivator and C4 in modulating immune precipitation
To clarify the mechanism of inhibition of immune precipitation by early components of the classical pathway of complement, aggregation of 125I-BSA-rabbit-anti-BSA antibody complexes was performed in the presence of purified C1, C1-inactivator (C1-In) and

Serum amyloid P aids complement-mediated immunity to Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]
The physiological functions of the acute phase protein serum amyloid P (SAP) component are not well defined, although they are likely to be important, as no natural state of SAP deficiency has been reported.
