Immunofluorescence studies for immunoglobulins and complement C3 in synovial joint membranes in psoriatic arthritis.

abstract：:L-ficolin (also called ficolin-2, P35 or hucolin) is a soluble pattern recognition molecule of suspected importance in anti-microbial immunity. It activates the lectin pathway of complement and acts as an opsonin. l-ficolin, encoded by the FCN2 gene, recognizes microbial polysaccharides and glycoconjugates rich in Glc...
