Role of Streptococcus pneumoniae Proteins in Evasion of Complement-Mediated Immunity

The complement system plays a central role in immune defense against Streptococcus pneumoniae. In order to evade complement attack, pneumococci have evolved a number of mechanisms that limit complement mediated opsonization and subsequent phagocytosis. This review focuses on the strategies employed...
