Local apoptotic-like mechanisms underlie complement-mediated synaptic pruning.

abstract：:A Mr 70,000 protein was isolated from cytotoxic human large granular lymphocytes and shown to have cytotoxic activity. The protein was demonstrated to be immunochemically related to the ninth component (C9) of complement and was therefore designated C9-related protein (C9RP). This finding suggests that C9RP and C9 sha...
