Terminal complement complexes with or without C9 potentiate antimicrobial activity against Neisseria gonorrhoeae
ABSTRACT The complement cascade is a front-line defense against pathogens. Complement activation generates the membrane attack complex (MAC), a 10–11 nm diameter pore formed by complement proteins C5b through C8 and polymerized C9. The MAC embeds within the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria a...
