20090270324 | COMPLEMENT DEPLETION USING RECOMBINANT HUMAN C-3 DERIVATIVES - The invention provides isolated polypeptides having complement-modulating activity. Specifically, the invention resides in the provision of isolated polypeptides having complement depleting properties, i.e. that effect an efficient consumption of complement in human serum. The current invention thus provides human C3 derivatives that are capable of forming C3 convertases exerting an extended CVF, Bb-like half-life of up several hours, compared to 1.5 minutes of the naturally occurring C3 convertases, thus escaping the physiological degradation mechanisms. | 10-29-2009 |
