Sublytic Terminal Complement Components Induce Eryptosis in Autoimmune Haemolytic Anaemia Related to IgM Autoantibodies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Eryptosis, the suicidal death of red blood cells (RBCs), is characterized by phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure at the cell surface. It can be catalysed by a variety of abnormal conditions and diseases.

COMPLEMENT-MEDIATED ADIPOCYTE LYSIS BY NEPHRITIC FACTOR SERA [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Recent data indicate a previously unsuspected link between the complement system and adipocyte biology. Murine adipocytes produce key components of the alternative pathway of complement and are able to activate this pathway.

Non-invasive monitoring of renal transplant recipients: Urinary excretion of soluble adhesion molecules and of the complement-split product C4d [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Background: The number of inducible adhesion molecules known to be involved in cell-mediated allograft rejection is still increasing. In addition, recent data describe complement activation during acute humoral allograft rejection.

Bothrops snake venoms and their isolated toxins, an L-amino acid oxidase and a serine protease, modulate human complement system pathways

open access: yesJournal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2015
Background Activation of the complement system plays an important role in the regulation of immune and inflammatory reactions, and contributes to inflammatory responses triggered by envenomation provoked byBothrops snakes.

Human complement factor H. Two factor H proteins are derived from alternatively spliced transcripts [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
The human complement factor H is an important component in the control of the alternative pathway of complement activation. We have previously shown that at least three factor H homologous mRNA species of 4.3 kb, 1.8 kb and 1.4 kb in length are ...

Covalent binding of C3b to C4b within the classical complement pathway C5 convertase. Determination of amino acid residues involved in ester linkage formation.

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1992
C5 convertase of the classical complement pathway is a protein complex consisting of C4b, C2a, and C3b. Within this complex C3b binds to C4b via an ester linkage.

Characterization of Complement Activity in Turkeys: Evidence for Classical and Alternative Complement Pathways

open access: yesPoultry Science, 1989
Complement activity in turkey serum was examined by using inhibitors or activators of mammalian complement. Hemolytic test systems using sheep red blood cells sensitized with specific antibody (SSRBC) and horse red blood cells (HRBC) were developed to measure residual complement activity of turkey sera treated with the various inhibitors or activators.

Detection of antibody-dependent complement mediated inactivation of both autologous and heterologous virus in primary HIV-1 infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Specific CD8 T-cell responses to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) are induced in primary infection and make an important contribution to the control of early viral replication.
