Role of Complement Component C1q in the IgG-Independent Opsonophagocytosis of Group B Streptococcus

We investigated the role of complement component C1q in the IgG-independent opsonophagocytosis of type III group B Streptococcus (GBS) by peripheral blood leukocytes. We report that C1q binds to type III GBS both in normal human serum deficient in IgG specific for type III capsular polysaccharide an...
