The Role of Complement in Cancer Immunotherapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
The dual role of complement in both cancer development and treatment has been investigated extensively and is characterized by a substantial literature that documents the conditions in which complement can either enhance tumor growth or promote the ...

Combined anti-C1-INH and radiotherapy against glioblastoma

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2023
Background A more effective immune response against glioblastoma is needed in order to achieve better tumor control. Radiotherapy can induce anti-tumor mediated immune reactions, in addition to its dose response effects.

Paths reunited: initiation of the classical and lectin pathways of complement activation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Understanding the structural organisation and mode of action of the initiating complex of the classical pathway of complement activation (C1) has been a central goal in complement biology since its isolation almost 50 years ago.

Borrelia valaisiana resist complement-mediated killing independently of the recruitment of immune regulators and inactivation of complement components [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Spirochetes belonging to the Borrelia (B.) burgdorferi sensu lato complex differ in their resistance to complement-mediated killing, particularly in regard to human serum.

Engineering novel complement activity into a pulmonary surfactant protein [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Complement neutralizes invading pathogens, stimulates inflammatory and adaptive immune responses, and targets non- or altered-self structures for clearance.

Bordetella pertussis isolates vary in their interactions with human complement components

open access: yesEmerging Microbes and Infections, 2018
Whooping cough is a re-emerging respiratory tract infection. It has become clear that there is a need for better understanding of protective immune responses and variation between Bordetella pertussis strains to aid the development of improved vaccines ...

Distinction of early complement classical and lectin pathway activation via quantification of C1s/C1-INH and MASP-1/C1-INH complexes using novel ELISAs

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
The most commonly used markers to assess complement activation are split products that are produced through activation of all three pathways and are located downstream of C3. In contrast, C4d derives from the cleavage of C4 and indicates either classical

Laryngeal angioedema caused by a rare disease—A case report

open access: yesCurrent Problems in Cancer: Case Reports, 2022
Acquired angioedema due to C1-inhibitor deficiency (C1-INH-AAE) is a rare disease, which often appears with hematological underlying diseases. It can be diagnosed by complement testing and its treatment consists of the management of the underlying ...

MHC-matched induced pluripotent stem cells can attenuate cellular and humoral immune responses but are still susceptible to innate immunity in pigs. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Recent studies have revealed negligible immunogenicity of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells in syngeneic mice and in autologous monkeys. Therefore, human iPS cells would not elicit immune responses in the autologous setting.

Blockade of the kallikrein-kinin system reduces endothelial complement activation in vascular inflammationResearch in context

open access: yesEBioMedicine, 2019
Background: The complement and kallikrein-kinin systems (KKS) are activated during vascular inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate if blockade of the KKS can affect complement activation on the endothelium during inflammation.
