Antibody-independent activation of the classical pathway of complement by Epstein-Barr virus.

abstract：:The membrane attack complex (MAC) of complement is activated by immune and non-immune mechanisms in the kidney. MAC has been found associated with glomerular immune deposits, but also to cell remnants, particularly along tubules and in vessel walls. Clusterin and S-protein (vitronectin) bind to MAC, rendering it cytol...
