Complement inhibitor of C5 activation from the soft tick Ornithodoros moubata.
Blood-feeding ticks must control C activation or be damaged by the host inflammatory response. We report the characterization and expression of a novel, relatively small, broad-acting C inhibitory protein (termed OmCI) from the soft tick Ornithodoros moubata. The native 17-kDa nonglycosylated protei...
