  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Human complement deficiencies have long been recognized.
  • Genetic deficiencies in complement proteins exist across species.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review advancements in understanding complement genetic deficiencies.
  • To highlight the impact of molecular cloning on complement research.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized molecular cloning techniques.
  • Deduced primary protein structures.
  • Determined gene structure and chromosomal localization.

Main Results:

  • Elucidated the structure of most complement proteins.
  • Identified the genetic basis for complement variants.
