C3b/iC3b Deposition on Streptococcus pneumoniae Is Not Affected by HIV Infection
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a common cause of infection in both HIV positive patients and those with complement deficiencies. We hypothesised that HIV positive individuals might exhibit reduced opsonisation of pneumococcus with complement due to reduced levels of S. pneumoniae specific IgG. We disco...
