Decidual endothelial cells express surface-bound C1q as a molecular bridge between endovascular trophoblast and decidual endothelium [PDF]
This study was prompted by the observation that decidual endothelial cells (DECs), unlike endothelial cells (ECs) of blood vessels in normal skin, kidney glomeruli and brain, express surface-bound C1q in physiologic pregnancy. This finding was unexpected,

The Solution Structures of Two Human IgG1 Antibodies Show Conformational Stability and Accommodate Their C1q and FcγR Ligands. [PDF]
The human IgG1 antibody subclass shows distinct properties compared with the IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 subclasses and is the most exploited subclass in therapeutic antibodies. It is the most abundant subclass, has a half-life as long as that of IgG2 and IgG4,

Clinical significance of serum complement C1q in diagnosis of malignant tumors
Objective To investigate the serum level of complement C1q in patients with malignant tumors and its clinical significance in the diagnosis of the tumors. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 468 patients with malignant tumors (including 164

ApoE attenuates unresolvable inflammation by complex formation with activated C1q
Apolipoprotein-E (ApoE) has been implicated in Alzheimer’s disease, atherosclerosis, and other unresolvable inflammatory conditions but a common mechanism of action remains elusive.

Tumor Cells Hijack Macrophage-Produced Complement C1q to Promote Tumor Growth
The density of C1q-producing TAMs and C4d deposits, hallmarks of complement activation, are negative prognostic factors in human clear-cell renal cell carcinoma.

The Humoral Theory of Transplantation: Epitope Analysis and the Pathogenicity of HLA Antibodies. [PDF]
Central to the humoral theory of transplantation is production of antibodies by the recipient against mismatched HLA antigens in the donor organ. Not all mismatches result in antibody production, however, and not all antibodies are pathogenic.

C1q binds to immune complexes to elicit complement-dependent microbial killing and enhance phagocytosis. Besides this classical role, C1q also opsonizes apoptotic cells for clearance by phagocytes. C1q deficiency increases susceptibility to microbial infections and is also associated with elevated autoimmunity as characterized by increased apoptotic ...

Is the anti-tumor property of Trypanosoma cruzi infection mediated by its Calreticulin?
Eight to 10 million people in 21 endemic countries are infected with Trypanosoma cruzi. However, only 30% of those infected develop symptoms of Chagas’ disease, a chronic, neglected tropical disease worldwide. Similar to other pathogens, T.

C1q, the recognition molecule of the classical pathway of the complement system, plays a central role in pregnancy. Lack of C1q is characterized by poor trophoblast invasion and pregnancy failure.
