Gain-of-Function Mutations R249C and S250C in Complement C2 Protein Increase C3 Deposition in the Presence of C-Reactive Protein

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
The impairment of the alternative complement pathway contributes to rare kidney diseases such as atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) and C3 glomerulopathy (C3G).

Functional and Structural Characterization of a Potent C1q Inhibitor Targeting the Classical Pathway of the Complement System

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
The classical pathway of complement is important for protection against pathogens and in maintaining tissue homeostasis, but excessive or aberrant activation is directly linked to numerous pathologies.

The Sez6 Family Inhibits Complement by Facilitating Factor I Cleavage of C3b and Accelerating the Decay of C3 Convertases

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
The Sez6 family consists of Sez6, Sez6L, and Sez6L2. Its members are expressed throughout the brain and have been shown to influence synapse numbers and dendritic morphology. They are also linked to various neurological and psychiatric disorders.

The lectin pathway of complement activation is a critical component of the innate immune response to pneumococcal infection. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2012
The complement system plays a key role in host defense against pneumococcal infection. Three different pathways, the classical, alternative and lectin pathways, mediate complement activation.

Circulating immune-complexes and complement activation through the classical pathway in myeloperoxidase-ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis

Renal Failure, 2022
Background Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis (AAGN) is the fulminant glomerular diseases with poor renal prognosis. Activation of the complement system has recently been reported in the pathogenesis of AAGN, but it

Quantification of classical and non-classical crystallization pathways in calcite precipitation [PDF]

, 2022
Crystal precipitation from aqueous solution occurs through multiple pathways. Besides the classical ion-by-ion addition, non-classical crystallization mechanisms, such as multi-ion polymer and nano-particle attachment, could be of great significance under certain circumstances.

Peptide inhibitor of complement C1 (PIC1), a novel suppressor of classical pathway activation: mechanistic studies and clinical potential

Frontiers in Immunology, 2014
The classical pathway of complement plays multiple physiological roles including modulating immunological effectors initiated by adaptive immune responses as well as an essential homeostatic role in the clearance of damaged self-antigens.

Functional Analysis of Two Divergent C4 Isotypes in the Classical and Lectin Pathways of Complement Activation in the Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
In the evolution of the complement system, a major humoral innate immune factor, the existence of multiple isotypes of the complement components is considered as a key strategy to enhance innate immune defense. Complement C4 is also diversified in a wide
