Complement C3 inhibitory peptide AMY-101 ameliorates brain injury in a mouse model of NMOSD [PDF]

Annals of Medicine
Background Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, clinically characterized primarily by optic neuritis and transverse myelitis. This study aimed to investigate the

Complement-Dependent Activity of CD20-Specific IgG Correlates With Bivalent Antigen Binding and C1q Binding Strength

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Monoclonal antibodies directed against the CD20 surface antigen on B cells are widely used in the therapy of B cell malignancies. Upon administration, the antibodies bind to CD20 expressing B cells and induce their depletion via cell- and complement ...

Mouse CD38-Specific Heavy Chain Antibodies Inhibit CD38 GDPR-Cyclase Activity and Mediate Cytotoxicity Against Tumor Cells

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
CD38 is the major NAD+-hydrolyzing ecto-enzyme in most mammals. As a type II transmembrane protein, CD38 is also a promising target for the immunotherapy of multiple myeloma (MM).

Different IVIG glycoforms affect in vitro inhibition of anti-ganglioside antibody-mediated complement deposition. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is the first line treatment for Guillain-Barré syndrome and multifocal motor neuropathy, which are caused by anti-ganglioside antibody-mediated complement-dependent cytotoxicity.

Sialylation of IgG Fc domain impairs complement-dependent cytotoxicity. [PDF]

J Clin Invest, 2015
IgG molecules exert both pro- and antiinflammatory effector functions based on the composition of the fragment crystallizable (Fc) domain glycan. Sialylated IgG Fc domains have antiinflammatory properties that are attributed to their ability to increase the activation threshold of innate effector cells to immune complexes by stimulating the ...

Harnessing the immunomodulatory effects of exercise to enhance the efficacy of monoclonal antibody therapies against B-cell haematological cancers: a narrative review

Frontiers in Oncology, 2023
Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are standard care for many B-cell haematological cancers. The modes of action for these mAbs include: induction of cancer cell lysis by activating Fcγ-receptors on innate immune cells; opsonising target cells for ...

Variable sensitivity to complement-dependent cytotoxicity in murine models of neuromyelitis optica. [PDF]

J Neuroinflammation, 2016
Studies of neuromyelitis optica (NMO), an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS), have demonstrated that autoantibodies against the water channel aquaporin-4 (AQP4) induce astrocyte damage through complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC).

Complement factor H-derived short consensus repeat 18–20 enhanced complement-dependent cytotoxicity of ofatumumab on chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells

Haematologica, 2013
The antitumor activity of monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia is mediated mainly by antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity.
