Circulating Complement Levels and C3 Glomerulopathy [PDF]

Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2014
The complement system is an essential part of innate immunity acting as a first-line defense against infection and provides an interface between innate and adaptive immunity ([1][1],[2][2]). It consists of a network of soluble (fluid phase) and cell membrane proteins (solid phase).
