Significance of Glomerular Deposition of C3c and C3d in IgA Nephropathy

American Journal of Nephrology, 2000
<i>Background:</i> Complement activation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy. The clinico-pathological significance of the glomerular deposition of complement breakdown products, C3c and C3d in IgA nephropathy remains to be clarified.

Production of antibody against C3c epitopes which are inaccessible on native C3

Journal of Immunological Methods, 1983
Anti-C3c antiserum was induced by immunizing rabbits with autologous erythrocytes coated with human C3b/C3bi. By absorption with human plasma this antiserum was rendered specific for C3c epitopes which are not expressed on native C3. This specificity may be analogous to that of immunoconglutinin.

A single step immunoelectrophoresis method for the quantitation of complement C3c in biological fluids

Journal of Immunological Methods, 1983
An intermediate gel rocket immunoelectrophoresis (IRI) suitable for direct quantitation of complement split products with C3c specificity is described. The technique represents a simple, quick, and reproducible method for the assessment of complement activity in biological fluids in diseases.

Circulating complement (C3),C3c and immune complexes in ABPA patients

Serodiagnosis and Immunotherapy in Infectious Disease, 1990
Abstract Complement (C3), its split product (C3c), CRP and circulating immune complexes were studied in 10 patients with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) and compared with 10 age and sex matched controls. An insignificant decrease and significant increase in the levels of C3 and C3c, respectively, was observed in ABPA patients in ...

THE QUANTITATION OF C3d BY ROUTINE METHODS AFTER THE DIRECT ABSORPTION OF HUMAN PLASMA WITH ANTI-C3c

Apmis, 1985
The immunological methods for quantitating C3d in plasma require first the removal of less fragmented intermediates as well as the intact C3. We describe an alternative method for the quantitation of C3d in human plasma. The components which should be removed are absorbed (precipitated) directly in the plasma by a specific anti‐C3c antiserum.

Glomerular C3c deposition and intravascular macrophage accumulation in early humoral renal allograft rejection signifies a poor short-term outcome†

Apmis, 2006
C4d deposition in the walls of peritubular capillaries is considered the key phenomenon in the histopathological diagnosis of humoral, i.e. antibody-mediated, allograft rejection.

Plasma C3c in immune-mediated neurological diseases: a preliminary report

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 1991
Plasma C3c levels were examined in 56 patients with immune (27) and non-immune (29) mediated neurological diseases by crossed immunoelectrophoresis. Plasma samples were collected during the active phase of illness in both groups, usually within 7 days of admission.

Physiologic inactivation of fluid phase C3b: isolation and structural analysis of C3c, C3d,g (alpha 2D), and C3g.

Journal of Immunology, 1984
The fragments that result from the inactivation of C3b have not been completely characterized. Initial inactivation is catalyzed by the protease factor I, which, in the presence of its cofactor (factor H), cleaves two peptide bonds in the alpha'-chain of
