Sentence examples for between complement resistance and from inspiring English sources
A study by Hällstrom et al. showed a correlation between complement resistance and disease severity but no difference in complement resistance between invasive and colonizing NTHi strains (30 ).
This lack of difference in complement resistance between invasive and colonizing NTHi strains might be explained by the large proportion (41%) of patients with immune deficiencies in the invasive group, therefore potentially reducing the immunologic pressure for NTHi strains to maintain complement resistance in the bloodstream.
Virulent leptospires displayed complement resistance in human serum and whole blood while in-vitro attenuated non-virulent leptospires were rapidly killed in a complement dependent manner.
These strategies include complement resistance, antigen variation, lateral gene transfer and lipoprotein polymorphism [ 25].
This review focuses on the classic complement pathway and the role of major complement inhibitory factors in cancer immune evasion as well as on how current protein engineering efforts are being employed to increase complement fixing or to reverse complement resistance leading to better therapeutic outcomes in oncology.
One difference between these strains that may account for these observations is that S. Typhi ISP1820 produces more LPS O-antigen than χ8438 [48], [82] and the production of long-chain O-antigen has been associated with complement resistance [94].
