Abstract
The human lectin complement pathway (LCP) involves circulating complexes consisting of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) or ficolins in association with serine proteases named MASP-1, -2 and -3 and a non-enzymatic protein, sMAP. MASP-3 originates from the MASP1 gene through differential splicing and little is known about its biological characteristics. For this reason we expressed recombinant MASP-3 and generated specific monoclonal antibodies to establish biochemical characteristics and to determine the serum levels, the interactions with the LCP recognition molecules and the influence on complement activation of MASP-3.
