Peptide inhibitor of complement C1 (PIC1), a novel suppressor of classical pathway activation: mechanistic studies and clinical potential
The classical pathway of complement plays multiple physiological roles including modulating immunological effectors initiated by adaptive immune responses as well as an essential homeostatic role in the clearance of damaged self-antigens. However, dysregulated classical pathway activation is associa...
