Effect of Concanavalin A on the Classical Complement Pathway
The Journal of Immunology, 1977Abstract Lysis of sheep erythrocytes (E) sensitized with anti-Forssman antiserum (EA) is inhibited by the action of concanavalin A (Con A) on whole guinea pig complement (GPC). The degree of inhibition observed for a given quantity of GPC was dependent on the Con A concentration.

Current Protocols in Immunology, 1994
AbstractThis unit describes several assay methods that can be used to determine the functional status of the classical pathway of complement and to quantitate its component proteins. The classical pathway includes C1qrs, C2, C4, C3, C5, C6, C7, C8, and C9, listed in the order in which they interact.

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 ...

Introduction While it might appear that the nineteenth-century physics presented in this chapter has no place in a topic as quantum mechanically oriented as atomic physics, this is simply not the case. The purpose of this first chapter is to try to convince the readers that the material learned in their early years of studying physics is not disjoint

Classics in Neuroimaging: Imaging the Endocannabinoid Pathway with PET
ACS Chemical Neuroscience, 2020This Viewpoint aims to highlight positron emission tomography (PET) research studies that have shaped our understanding of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) through radiopharmaceutical targeting of cannabinoid receptors 1 and 2 (CB1 and CB2), and the enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), in several brain health illnesses including addiction ...

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

Classical and unconventional pathways of vesicular release in microglia
Glia, 2013Emerging evidence indicates that activation of microglia, the immune cells of the brain, is strictly associated to both secretion of soluble molecules and release of extracellular membrane vesicles (EMVs) into the pericellular space. Through these processes, microglia heavily influence brain cell functions, either propagating inflammation and causing ...

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 complement pathway factor alterations in narcolepsy
Acta Neuropsychiatrica, 2022AbstractObjective:Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder long hypothesised to be an autoimmune disease. Complement-mediated immune mechanisms have not been investigated in detail in narcolepsy. Our aim was to establish the significance of classical pathway activation in narcolepsy.Methods:Sera of 42 narcolepsy patients and 26 healthy controls were ...

Regulation of angiotensin II receptors beyond the classical pathway.
Clinical science, 2012The RAS (renin-angiotensin system) plays a role not only in the cardiovascular system, including blood pressure regulation, but also in the central nervous system.
