I have sent this request before and will send this last time. If
anyone has any thoughts or comments, thanks!
I am interested in cobra venum factor (CVF) as a molecule to deplete the
complement pathway in mice. If I deplete with a couple of
injections over a day or two, what are the effects of the cleavage
products of "this" C3 convertase. How long does the it take for the
effects of C3a to return to baseline. Are Mono's and Mac's (other APCs)
chemotactively activated for 1 hour, 4 hours, 24 hours, 3 days or is
this known??? What are the effects of such cleavage products on
phagocytosis and other functions, and again how long are such effects
sustained??
I am into medline and text's but have not found any clear data
addressing this issue. Any comments or suggestions would be great!
Thanks in advance!
