The complement system has a critical role in both the innate and the adaptive immune responses. In humans, C3 exists as two main allotypes, F (fast) and S (slow), which are known to affect the incidence of inflammatory disease. We conducted a study to address the influence of these alleles on late renal-graft outcome.
