Staphylococcal complement inhibitor modulates phagocyte responses by dimerization of convertases.

The human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus produces several complement-evasion molecules that enable the bacterium to withstand the host immune response. The human-specific staphylococcal complement inhibitor (SCIN) blocks the central C3 convertase enzymes that trigger critical complement functions, s...
