The classical pathway is the dominant complement pathway required for innate immunity to Streptococcus pneumoniae infection in mice [PDF]
The complement system is an important component of the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens, including Streptococcus pneumoniae. The classical complement pathway is activated by antibody–antigen complexes on the bacterial surface and has been ...

Lectin domain of aggrecan G3 module activates the classical pathway. [PDF]
Aggregated IgG (positive control for classical pathway), LCt, Lt, Ct and BSA (negative control) were coated onto microtiter plates and increasing concentrations of normal human serum (NHS) were added.

Complement classical pathway components are all important in clearance of apoptotic and secondary necrotic cells. [PDF]
Summary Inherited deficiencies in components of the classical complement pathway are strong disease susceptibility factors for the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and there is a hierarchy among deficiency states, the strongest ...

A New Tool for Complement Research: In vitro Reconstituted Human Classical Complement Pathway
The complement, as part of the innate immune system, represents the first line of defense against Gram-negative bacteria invading the bloodstream. The complement system is a zymogen cascade that ultimately assemble into the so-called membrane attack ...

Antibody-mediated activation of the classical pathway of complement may compensate for mannose-binding lectin deficiency [PDF]
Deficiency of mannose-binding lectin (MBL), a recognition molecule of the lectin pathway of complement, is associated with increased susceptibility to infections.

Role of the Classical Pathway of Complement Activation in Experimentally Induced Polymicrobial Peritonitis [PDF]
The complement system and the natural antibody repertoire provide a critical first-line defense against infection. The binding of natural antibodies to microbial surfaces opsonizes invading microorganisms and activates complement via the classical ...

Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas in Children and Adolescents: Expert Recommendations
ABSTRACT Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) is a rare low‐grade malignant exocrine pancreatic tumor, mostly discovered during the second decade of life in females, with a very good prognosis, provided microscopically complete surgical excision is achieved.

The classical complement pathway plays a critical role in the opsonisation of uropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]
Urinary tract infection due to uropathogenic Escherichia coli is a common clinical problem. The innate immune system and the uroepithelium are critical in defence against infection.

An Ultrahigh-Affinity Complement C4b-Specific Nanobody Inhibits In Vivo Assembly of the Classical Pathway Proconvertase [PDF]
The classical and lectin pathways of the complement system are important for the elimination of pathogens and apoptotic cells and stimulation of the adaptive immune system.
