Serum C1q concentration is associated with disease activity in Chinese Takayasu arteritis patients: A case‐control study

Health Science Reports, 2021
Background C1q is a crucial component of the classical complement pathway. This study is the first to assess the association between disease activity and serum levels of C1q in Chinese Takayasu arteritis (TA) patients.

A common theme in interaction of bacterial immunoglobulin-binding proteins with immunoglobulins illustrated in the equine system [PDF]

, 2008
The M protein of Streptococcus equi subsp. equi known as fibrinogen-binding protein (FgBP) is a cell wall-associated protein with antiphagocytic activity that binds IgG. Recombinant versions of the seven equine IgG subclasses were used to investigate the

Matrix: a complex amalgam of structures and functions in tumor microenvironment

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The matrix is a dynamic, intricate three‐dimensional mesh of biomolecules with both structural and functional properties. This review deals with the complexity of this ‘molecular amalgam’ in the tumor microenvironment and highlights its importance in the maintenance and evolution of tumors by describing certain matrix biomolecules, such as ...

C1q Levels: A Reliable Biomarker for Differentiating Active and Latent Tuberculosis Infection

International Journal of Mycobacteriology
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) poses a significant public health challenge, particularly because it can exist in an asymptomatic latent phase. Latent TB infection indicates the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis without clinical symptoms.

Deciphering the fine details of C1 assembly and activation mechanisms: 'mission impossible'?

Frontiers in Immunology, 2014
The classical complement pathway is initiated by the large (~800kDa) and flexible multimeric C1 complex. Its catalytic function is triggered by the hetero-tetramer of proteases C1r2s2, which is associated to the C1q sensing unit, a complex assembly of 18

Cell-specific deletion of C1qa identifies microglia as the dominant source of C1q in mouse brain

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2017
BackgroundThe complement cascade not only provides protection from infection but can also mediate destructive inflammation. Complement is also involved in elimination of neuronal synapses which is essential for proper development, but can be detrimental ...

Menopause leads to elevated expression of macrophage-associated genes in the aging frontal cortex: rat and human studies identify strikingly similar changes. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND The intricate interactions between the immune, endocrine and central nervous systems shape the innate immune response of the brain. We have previously shown that estradiol suppresses expression of immune genes in the frontal cortex of ...

Efgartigimod Combined With Steroid Treatment for HAM/TSP: A Case Report

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT HTLV‐1‐associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is a progressive neurological disorder with limited treatment options. We report a 54‐year‐old female with decade‐long, progressive HAM/TSP, previously refractory to rituximab, who experienced worsening spastic paraparesis and neurogenic bladder dysfunction.

Structural and functional characterization of a single-chain form of the recognition domain of complement protein C1q

Frontiers in Immunology, 2016
Complement C1q is a soluble pattern recognition molecule comprising six heterotrimeric subunits assembled from three polypeptide chains (A, B, and C). Each heterotrimer forms a collagen-like stem prolonged by a globular recognition domain.
