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.

A hierarchical role for classical pathway complement proteins in the clearance of apoptotic cells in vivo [PDF]

, 2000
The strongest susceptibility genes for the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in humans are null mutants of classical pathway complement proteins. There is a hierarchy of disease susceptibility and severity according to the position of the

Paths reunited: initiation of the classical and lectin pathways of complement activation [PDF]

, 2010
Understanding the structural organisation and mode of action of the initiating complex of the classical pathway of complement activation (C1) has been a central goal in complement biology since its isolation almost 50 years ago.

Chimeric Proteins Containing MAP-1 and Functional Domains of C4b-Binding Protein Reveal Strong Complement Inhibitory Capacities

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The complement system is a tightly regulated network of proteins involved in defense against pathogens, inflammatory processes, and coordination of the innate and adaptive immune responses.

Is the A-Chain the Engine That Drives the Diversity of C1q Functions? Revisiting Its Unique Structure

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The immunopathological functions associated with human C1q are still growing in terms of novelty, diversity, and pathologic relevance. It is, therefore, not surprising that C1q is being recognized as an important molecular bridge between innate and ...

The maximal subgroups of the classical groups in dimension 13, 14 and 15 [PDF]

, 2015
One might easily argue that the Classification of Finite Simple Groups is one of the most important theorems of group theory. Given that any finite group can be deconstructed into its simple composition factors, it is of great importance to have a ...

Complement-coagulation cross-talk: a potential mediator of the physiological activation of complement by low pH

Frontiers in Immunology, 2015
The complement system is a major constituent of the innate immune system. It not only bridges innate and adaptive arms of the immune system but also links the immune system with the coagulation system.

An audit to determine the clinical effectiveness of a pathway for managing wound infection [PDF]

, 2015
Prevention of wound infection is a key objective in the planning of care for patients with wounds. The potential for wound infection, particularly in chronic wounds that are heavily contaminated with bacteria, can be high (Bowler et al, 2001).
