Paths reunited: initiation of the classical and lectin pathways of complement activation [PDF]
Understanding the structural organisation and mode of action of the initiating complex of the classical pathway of complement activation (C1) has been a central goal in complement biology since its isolation almost 50 years ago.

Sublytic Terminal Complement Components Induce Eryptosis in Autoimmune Haemolytic Anaemia Related to IgM Autoantibodies [PDF]
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Eryptosis, the suicidal death of red blood cells (RBCs), is characterized by phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure at the cell surface. It can be catalysed by a variety of abnormal conditions and diseases.

The haemolytic activity of the classical and alternative pathways, of factors B and D, as well as of the levels of C1q, C3 and C4 was determined in the serum of 24 adult patients with Hodgkin disease at different clinical stages.

Effect of anticomplement agent K-76 COOH in hamster-to-rat and guinea pig- to-rat xenotransplantation [PDF]
In normal rats, the xenobiotic K76 inhibited the C5 and probably the C2 and C3 steps of complement and effectively depressed classical complement pathway activity, alternative complement pathway activity, and the C3 complement component during and well ...

Escherichia coli strains may be beneficial or pathogenic. Many E. coli strains that cause human disease, especially those responsible for bacteremia and sepsis, express virulence factors that impart resistance to the complement system.

C1q acts in the tumour microenvironment as a cancer-promoting factor independently of complement activation [PDF]
Complement C1q is the activator of the classical pathway. However, it is now recognized that C1q can exert functions unrelated to complement activation.
