Complement in trauma—Traumatised complement? [PDF]

British 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.

Subgraph Complementation [PDF]

Algorithmica, 2020
AbstractA subgraph complement of the graph G is a graph obtained from G by complementing all the edges in one of its induced subgraphs. We study the following algorithmic question: for a given graph G and graph class $${\mathscr {G}}$$G, is there a subgraph complement of G which is in $${\mathscr {G}}$$G?

SUBSTITUTING COMPLEMENTS [PDF]

Journal 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

Complement Has Brains—Do Intracellular Complement and Immunometabolism Cooperate in Tissue Homeostasis and Behavior?

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
The classical liver-derived and serum-effective complement system is well appreciated as a key mediator of host protection via instruction of innate and adaptive immunity.

Complementation [PDF]

WormBook, 2005
Mutations in many genes can result in a similar phenotype. Finding a number of mutants with the same phenotype tells you little about how many genes you are dealing with, and how mutable those genes are until you can assign those mutations to genetic loci. The genetic assay for gene assignment is called the complementation test.

Progressive IgA Nephropathy Is Associated With Low Circulating Mannan-Binding Lectin–Associated Serine Protease-3 (MASP-3) and Increased Glomerular Factor H–Related Protein-5 (FHR5) Deposition

Kidney International Reports, 2018
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is characterized by glomerular deposition of galactose-deficient IgA1 and complement proteins and leads to renal impairment. Complement deposition through the alternative and lectin activation pathways is associated with renal ...

TIGIT-positive circulating follicular helper T cells display robust B-cell help functions: potential role in sickle cell alloimmunization

Haematologica, 2015
T follicular helper cells are the main CD4+ T cells specialized in supporting B-cell responses, but their role in driving transfusion-associated alloimmunization is not fully characterized.
