The Role of Complement and Its Receptor in the Elimination of Immune Complexes
Abstract
Information that has accumulated in the past several years has necessitated a radical reexamination of the role of complement in immune-complex disease. The starting point was the recognition in the mid-1970s of an association between a genetic deficiency of complement components and susceptibility to immune-complex disease. More recent work has established that complement itself, by binding to the antigen–antibody complex, can greatly modify the structure and biologic activity of the complex. In addition, the structure and properties of the receptor for the activated third component of complement have been characterized. These new data have led to a reappraisal of the . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
