Interpain A, a cysteine proteinase from Prevotella intermedia, inhibits complement by degrading complement factor C3.

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the supporting structures of the teeth caused by, among other pathogens, Prevotella intermedia. Many strains of P. intermedia are resistant to killing by the human complement system, which is present at up to 70% of serum concentration in gingival crevicul...
