MafB is a critical regulator of complement component C1q [PDF]
, 2017 The transcription factor MafB is expressed by monocytes and macrophages. Efferocytosis (apoptotic cell uptake) by macrophages is important for inhibiting the development of autoimmune diseases, and is greatly reduced in Mafb-deficient macrophages.

Bio-Protocol, 2021 The complement system is a central component of innate immunity, responsible for recognition and killing of bacteria by tagging invaders through opsonisation, thereby promoting phagocytosis, and by direct lysis.

Nonadiabatic transition paths from quantum jump trajectories [PDF]
, 2022 We present a means of studying rare reactive pathways in open quantum systems using Transition Path Theory and ensembles of quantum jump trajectories. This approach allows for elucidation of reactive paths for dissipative, nonadiabatic dynamics when the system is embedded in a Markovian environment.

Activation of the classical pathway of complement by rheumatoid factors [PDF]
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1982 AbstractA simple, sensitive solid‐phase radioimmunoassay to quantitate the activation of the classical pathway of complement by rheumatoid factor (RF) is described. RF (purified, in serum or synovial fluid) was bound to reduced and alkylated IgG adsorbed to polyvinyl chloride microtiter plates and reacted with diluted normal human serum (complement ...

DYSFUNCTION OF COMPLEMENT SYSTEM IN FAMILIAL MEDITERRANEAN FEVER
Медицинская иммунология, 2014 . During attacks of familial mediterranean fever (FMF), multiple systemic events are triggered, most of which promote autoinflammatory reactions. A molecular pattern of immune abnormalities in FMF is yet unclear.

Characterization of the Classical Complement Pathway of Rainbow Trout [PDF]
Journal of the Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu University, 1988 Characteristics of the classical complement pathway (CCP) of rainbow trout Salmo gairdneti was examined using sheep red blood cells sensitized with porgy Pagrms major antibody which is compatible with rainbow trout complement. The rainbow trout CCP showed the highest activity when the reaction was performed at 20-25°C and around pH 7.5, and the ...

Complement activation by carbon nanotubes and its influence on the phagocytosis and cytokine response by macrophages [PDF]
, 2014 Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have promised a range of applications in biomedicine. Although influenced by the dispersants used, CNTs are recognized by the innate immune system, predominantly by the classical pathway of the complement system.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

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