FHR-1 binds to C-reactive protein and enhances rather than inhibits complement activation [PDF]
, 2017 Factor H (FH)-related protein 1 (FHR-1) is one of the five human factor H-related proteins, which share sequence and structural homology with the alternative pathway complement inhibitor FH.

Platelet Mediated Complement Activation [PDF]
, 2008 The complement system comprises a series of proteases and inhibitors that are activated in cascade-like fashion during host defense (Makrides 1998). A growing body of evidence supports the hypothesis that immune mechanisms, including complement activation, are involved in inflammatory conditions associated with vascular injury (Acostan et al.

Early complementopathy predicts the outcomes of patients with trauma
Trauma Surgery & Acute Care Open, 2019 Background Complementopathy (rapid complement activation and consumption after trauma) has been reported in trauma patients, but the underlying mechanism of these phenomena and their clinical significance remain unclear. This study aimed to determine the

Complement Activation and Inhibition in Wound Healing
Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2012 Complement activation is needed to restore tissue injury; however, inappropriate activation of complement, as seen in chronic wounds can cause cell death and enhance inflammation, thus contributing to further injury and impaired wound healing. Therefore,

Modern view on the complement system role in membranous nephropathy
Терапевтический архив, 2022 Membranous nephropathy (MN), an immune-mediated glomerular disease, is the most common cause of adult nephrotic syndrome. In MN, proteinuria is developed by podocyte damage due to the complement system activation in response to the subepithelial ...

Contribution of complement activation pathways to neuropathology differs among mouse models of Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
, 2011 Background Complement proteins and activation products have been found associated with neuropathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recently, a C5a receptor antagonist was shown to suppress neuropathology in two murine models of AD, Tg2576 and

An Anti-C1s Monoclonal, TNT003, Inhibits Complement Activation Induced by Antibodies Against HLA. [PDF]
, 2015 Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) of solid organ transplants (SOT) is characterized by damage triggered by donor-specific antibodies (DSA) binding donor Class I and II HLA (HLA-I and HLA-II) expressed on endothelial cells.
