Control of the classical and the MBL pathway of complement activation
Molecular Immunology, 2000The activation of complement via the mannan-binding lectin (MBL) pathway is initiated by the MBL complex consisting of the carbohydrate binding molecule, MBL, two associated serine proteases, MASP-1 and MASP-2, and a third protein, MAp19. In the present report we used an assay of complement activation specifically reflecting the physiological activity ...

complement classical and lectin pathways
2010The classical and lectin pathways of complement are major recognition systems of innate immunity that are found in mammals and other animal species. By means of several multimolecular proteases – C1, the mannan-binding lectin (MBL)–MBL-associated serine protease 2 (MBL–MASP-2) and the ficolin–MASP-2 complexes – each comprising a recognition protein and

A novel ELISA for the evaluation of the classical pathway of complement
Journal of Immunological Methods, 1998Assessment of the overall function of the classical pathway of complement is traditionally performed by the hemolytic titration assay CH50. In the present study, we established a novel method for the quantitation of complement activity by measuring the deposition of C1q, C4, C3 and C9 on solid-phase IgM by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA ...

Activation of the classical complement pathway by BioRex-70
Immunology Letters, 1987The cation exchange resin BioRex-70 was able to activate the classical complement pathway in human serum at 37 degrees C over the resin concentration range 0-5% (v/v). Using zymosan-treated human serum, it was found that the activation proceeded as far as complement protein C3.

The Classical Pathway of Complement [PDF]
, 2016 Complement evolved in parallel with coagulation as part of the primordial explosion of life in the Cambrian era. Remnants of this connection still exist in vertebrate animals as well as invertebrates. A classic example is the horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, still sought after by scientists today to test substances for traces of bacterial ...

An immunofluorescence assay for complement activation by the classical pathway
Journal of Immunological Methods, 1981The functional integrity of classical complement pathway components was determined by an immunofluorescence (IFL) assay based on the capacity of cytoskeletal intermediate filaments (IMF) to bind C1q and to activate the complement pathway. The assay uses IMF-rich capillary endothelium of human term placentae as complement-activating substrate.

The non-classical functions of the classical complement pathway recognition subcomponent C1q
Immunology Letters, 2010C1q, the ligand recognition subcomponent of the classical complement pathway has steadily been gaining recognition as a bridge between innate and adaptive immunity. C1q has been shown to be involved in the modulation of various immune cells (such as dendritic cells, platelets, microglia cells and lymphocytes), clearance of apoptotic cells, a range of ...

Classical pathway complement activity in Familial Mediterranean fever
Clinical Biochemistry, 2006The present study emphasizes the important role of the immune reactions in the pathogenesis of Familial Mediterranean fever. In the present study, the total hemolytic activity of the complement and the activities of individual complement components, C1, C2, C3, and C4, were determined in the blood serum of 32 patients with FMF and 28 healthy subjects ...
