Activation of the alternative complement pathway by Haemophilus influenzae type B
Infect Immun.
1977 Apr.
Abstract
The results of the following study demonstrate that Haemophilus influenzae type B (HITB) is able to activate the alternative complement pathway. They also demonstrate that the activation of the alternative pathway by HITB is not mediated by the capsule.
