Molecular Characterization of Complement Component 3 (C3) in the Pearl Oyster Pinctada fucata Improves Our Understanding of the Primitive Complement System in Bivalve
As the central component in the complement system, complement component 3 (C3) plays essential roles in both the innate and adaptive immune responses. Here, a C3 gene (designated as pf-C3) was obtained from the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata by RT-PCR and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The p...
