Functional evaluation of rare variants in complement factor I using a minigene assay

Frontiers in Immunology
The regulatory serine protease, complement factor I (FI), in conjunction with one of its cofactors (FH, C4BP, MCP, or CR1), plays an essential role in controlling complement activity through inactivation of C3b and C4b.

Alternative pathway dysregulation and the conundrum of complement activation by IgG4 immune complexes in membranous nephropathy

Frontiers in Immunology, 2016
Membranous nephropathy (MN), a major cause of nephrotic syndrome, is a non-inflammatory immune kidney disease mediated by IgG antibodies that form glomerular subepithelial immune complexes.

The dynamics of alternative pathways to compensatory substitution [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
The role of epistatic interactions among loci is a central question in evolutionary biology and is increasingly relevant in the genomic age. While the population genetics of compensatory substitution have received considerable attention, most studies have focused on the case when natural selection is very strong against deleterious intermediates.

Alternative Pathway Is Essential for Glomerular Complement Activation and Proteinuria in a Mouse Model of Membranous Nephropathy

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Membranous nephropathy is an immune kidney disease caused by IgG antibodies that form glomerular subepithelial immune complexes. Proteinuria is mediated by complement activation, as a result of podocyte injury by C5b-9, but the role of specific ...

ADAPT NXT: Fixed Cycles or Every‐Other‐Week IV Efgartigimod in Generalized Myasthenia Gravis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This phase 3b, open‐label, randomized ADAPT NXT study investigated the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of efgartigimod administered in either a fixed cycles dosing regimen (3 cycles of 4 once‐weekly infusions, with 4 weeks between cycles) or a cycle followed by every‐other‐week (Q2W) dosing.
