C-reactive protein binds to short phosphoglycan repeats of Leishmania secreted proteophosphoglycans and activates complement

Human C-reactive protein (CRP) binds to lipophosphoglycan (LPG), a virulence factor of Leishmania spp., through the repeating phosphodisaccharide region. We report here that both major components of promastigote secretory gel (PSG), the filamentous proteophosphoglycan (fPPG) and the secreted acid ph...
