Allelic Lineages of the Ficolin Genes (FCNs) Are Passed from Ancestral to Descendant Primates
The ficolins recognize carbohydrates and acetylated compounds on microorganisms and dying host cells and are able to activate the lectin pathway of the complement system. In humans, three ficolin genes have been identified: FCN1, FCN2 and FCN3, which encode ficolin-1, ficolin-2 and ficolin-3, respec...
