We also measured complement lectin and alternative pathway activities in an affected individual's serum.

These results imply that MCP primarily protects host cells from alternative pathway-mediated C3 targeting.

We must take the alternative pathway of moderation and control.

It has not detailed any alternative pathway.

This alternative pathway may help flies silence newly acquired transposons for which they lack extensively complementary piRNAs.

However, the cell populations responsible for the perturbed alternative pathway NF-kB signalling in intestinal mucosal pathology remain unclear.
