Acquisition of C1 inhibitor by Bordetella pertussis virulence associated gene 8 results in C2 and C4 consumption away from the bacterial surface.

PLoS Pathogens, 2017
Whooping cough, or pertussis, is a contagious disease of the respiratory tract that is re-emerging worldwide despite high vaccination coverage. The causative agent of this disease is the Gram-negative Bordetella pertussis. Knowledge on complement evasion

Proteomic profiling of IgA nephropathy reveals distinct molecular prognostic subtypes

iScience, 2023
Summary: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a heterogeneous disease, which poses a series of challenges to accurate diagnosis and personalized therapy. Herein, we constructed a systematic quantitative proteome atlas from 59 IgAN and 19 normal control donors ...

C1-inhibitor treatment in patients with severe complement-mediated autoimmune hemolytic anemia [PDF]

, 2023
Complement-mediated (CM) autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is characterized by the destruction of red blood cells (RBCs) by autoantibodies that activate the classical complement pathway. These antibodies also reduce transfusion efficacy via the lysis of

Complement is activated by elevated IgG3 hexameric platforms and deposits C4b onto distinct antibody domains

Nature Communications, 2023
IgG3 is unique among the IgG subclasses due to its extended hinge, allotypic diversity and enhanced effector functions, including highly efficient pathogen neutralisation and complement activation.

Regulation of Complement and Contact System Activation via C1 Inhibitor Potentiation and Factor XIIa Activity Modulation by Sulfated Glycans - Structure-Activity Relationships.

PLoS ONE, 2016
The serpin C1 inhibitor (C1-INH) is the only regulator of classical complement activation as well as the major regulator of the contact system. Its importance is demonstrated by hereditary angioedema (HAE), a severe disease with potentially life ...
