Complement C1s as a diagnostic marker and therapeutic target: Progress and propective
The molecules of the complement system connect the effectors of innate and adaptive immunity and play critical roles in maintaining homeostasis. Among them, the C1 complex, composed of C1q, C1r, and C1s (C1qr2s2), is the initiator of the classical ...

C1s protects cutaneous squamous carcinoma cells from TRAIL-induced apoptosis [PDF]
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the most common metastatic skin cancer. The prognosis of the metastatic cSCC is poor, and there are no established biomarkers to predict metastasis risk, nor specific targeted therapies for advanced or ...

Long lasting complement neutralisation by RAY121, an engineered anti-C1s antibody with C1q displacement functionResearch in context [PDF]
Summary: Background: Antibody drugs blocking the complement classical pathway (CP) often require frequent intravenous administration to overcome the high abundance or rapid turnover of complement proteins.
