Factor H binding protein (fHbp) is a protein produced by the pathogen Neisseria meningitidis that recruits factor H to its membrane, thereby inactivating C3b deposited on its surface and evading destruction by complement.
El factor H binding protein (fHbp) es una proteína producida por el patógeno Neisseria meningitidis que recluta el factor H a su membrana, inactivando así el C3b depositado en su superficie y evadiendo la destrucción por el complemento.
