Alternative pathway diagnostics. [PDF]
Immunol Rev, 2023 SummaryUncontrolled alternative pathway activation is the primary driver of several diseases, and it contributes to the pathogenesis of many others. Consequently, diagnostic tests to monitor this arm of the complement system are increasingly important.

The contribution of the alternative pathway in complement activation on cell surfaces depends on the strength of classical pathway initiation [PDF]
Clinical & Translational Immunology, 2023 Objectives The complement system is an important component of innate immunity. The alternative pathway (AP) amplification loop is considered an essential feed forward mechanism for complement activation.

Thrombotic microangiopathy mediates poor prognosis among lupus nephritis via complement lectin and alternative pathway activation [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 ObjectiveThe pathogenesis of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) in lupus nephritis (LN) remains complicated. This study aimed to detect the deposition of complement lectin pathway (LP) and alternative pathway (AP) components in renal tissues, then evaluate

Alternative Macroautophagic Pathways [PDF]
International Journal of Cell Biology, 2012 Macroautophagy is a bulk degradation process that mediates the clearance of long-lived proteins, aggregates, or even whole organelles. This process includes the formation of autophagosomes, double-membrane structures responsible for delivering cargo to lysosomes for degradation. Currently, other alternative autophagy pathways have been described, which

The Complement System and ANCA Associated Vasculitis in the Era of Anti-Complement Drugs
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 ANCA (anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is the condition in which ANCA, as an autoantibody, is associated with the pathogenesis of vasculitis in small blood vessels, mainly in the ear, nose, throat, kidney, lung, and ...
