Anti-C1q autoantibodies

Autoimmunity Reviews, 2008
Autoantibodies to complement components are associated with various diseases. Anti-C1q antibodies are present in all patients with hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis, but also, with varying prevalence, in other conditions. In SLE, these antibodies are neither sensitive nor specific for this condition.

C1q, antibodies and anti-C1q autoantibodies

Molecular Immunology, 2015
The complement system has long been known for its role in combating infections. More recently the complement system is becoming increasingly appreciated for its role in processes that range from waste transport, immune tolerance and shaping of the adaptive immune response.

C1q-binding proteins and C1q receptors

Current Opinion in Immunology, 1999
Aggregated or immobilized complement C1q induces cellular responses in many different cell types. C1q-induced cellular responses may be involved in host defense and in protection against autoimmunity because C1q-deficient humans have infectious complications and a very high incidence of autoimmune disease.

C1q binding and C1q deviation assays using enzyme labelled C1q

Journal of Immunological Methods, 1984
Methods for the enzyme labelling of C1q are described. The C1q conjugates have been incorporated into suitably modified C1q deviation and C1q binding assays for circulating immune complexes. These assays show the expected high positivity rate in sera from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.

RAGE binds C1q and enhances C1q-mediated phagocytosis

Cellular Immunology, 2012
RAGE, the multiligand receptor of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell surface molecules, is implicated in innate and adaptive immunity. Complement component C1q serves roles in complement activation and antibody-independent opsonization. Using soluble forms of RAGE (sRAGE) and RAGE-expressing cells, we determined that RAGE is a native C1q globular ...
