A C3(H20) recycling pathway is a component of the intracellular complement system [PDF]
, 2017 An intracellular complement system (ICS) has recently been described in immune and nonimmune human cells. This system can be activated in a convertase-independent manner from intracellular stores of the complement component C3. The source of these stores

Using Cystine Knot Proteins as a Novel Approach to Retarget Oncolytic Measles Virus. [PDF]
, 2017 Modified measles virus (MV) has effective oncolytic activity preclinically and is currently being investigated in clinical trials for various types of cancer. We investigated the use of cystine knot proteins (CKPs) to direct MV activity.
