Homodimeric Minimal Factor H: In Vivo Tracking and Extended Dosing Studies in Factor H Deficient Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is associated with dysregulation of the alternative pathway (AP) of complement and treatment options remain inadequate. Factor H (FH) is a potent regulator of the AP.

Functional Characterization of Rare Genetic Variants in the N-Terminus of Complement Factor H in aHUS, C3G, and AMD

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN), C3 glomerulopathy (C3G), atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) have all been strongly linked with dysfunction of the alternative pathway (AP) of complement.

Virus-Encoded Complement Regulators: Current Status

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Viruses require a host for replication and survival and hence are subjected to host immunological pressures. The complement system, a crucial first response of the host immune system, is effective in targeting viruses and virus-infected cells, and ...

Complement in trauma—Traumatised complement? [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, 2020
Physical trauma represents a major global burden. The trauma‐induced response, including activation of the innate immune system, strives for regeneration but can also lead to post‐traumatic complications. The complement cascade is rapidly activated by damaged tissue, hypoxia, exogenous proteases and others.

Safety and impact of eculizumab withdrawal in patients with atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome: protocol for a multicentre, open-label, prospective, single-arm study

open access: yesBMJ Open, 2022
Introduction Atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare, life-threatening disease caused by excessive activation of part of the immune system called complement. Eculizumab is an effective treatment, controlling aHUS in 90% of patients.

Complement System: Promoter or Suppressor of Cancer Progression?

open access: yesAntibodies, 2020
Constituent of innate immunity, complement is present in the tumor microenvironment. The functions of complement include clearance of pathogens and maintenance of homeostasis, and as such could contribute to an anti-tumoral role in the context of certain

The murine Microenvironment Cell Population counter method to estimate abundance of tissue-infiltrating immune and stromal cell populations in murine samples using gene expression

open access: yesGenome Medicine, 2020
Quantifying tissue-infiltrating immune and stromal cells provides clinically relevant information for various diseases. While numerous methods can quantify immune or stromal cells in human tissue samples from transcriptomic data, few are available for ...

A novel method for real-time analysis of the complement C3b:FH:FI complex reveals dominant negative CFI variants in age-related macular degeneration

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is linked to 2 main disparate genetic pathways: a chromosome 10 risk locus and the alternative pathway (AP) of complement. Rare genetic variants in complement factor H (CFH; FH) and factor I (CFI; FI) are associated

SUBSTITUTING COMPLEMENTS [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Competition Law & Economics, 2006
The presence of multiple sellers in the provision of (nonsubstitutable) complementary goods leads to outcomes that are worse than those generated by a monopoly (with a vertically integrated production of complements), a problem known in the economic literature as complementary oligopoly and recently popularized in the legal literature as the tragedy of

Multiplicative complements I

open access: yesActa Arithmetica, 2023
In this paper we prove that if $A$ and $B$ are infinite subsets of positive integers such that every positive integer $n$ can be written as $n=ab$, $a\in A$, $b\in B$, then $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to \infty}\frac{A(x)B(x)}{x}=\infty $. We also prove many other results about sets like this.
