Contribution of the infection-associated complement regulator-acquiring surface protein 4 (ErpC) to complement resistance of Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]

, 2012
Borrelia burgdorferi evades complement-mediated killing by interacting with complement regulators through distinct complement regulator-acquiring surface proteins (CRASPs).

Complement Regulatory Protein C1 Inhibitor Binds to Selectins and Interferes with Endothelial-Leukocyte Adhesion [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2003
Abstract C1 inhibitor (C1INH), a member of the serine proteinase inhibitor (serpin) family, is an inhibitor of proteases in the complement system, the contact system of kinin generation, and the intrinsic coagulation pathway. It is the most heavily glycosylated plasma protein, containing 13 definitively identified glycosylation sites ...

Backbone dynamics of complement control protein (CCP) modules reveals mobility in binding surfaces [PDF]

, 2004
The regulators of complement activation (RCA) are critical to health and disease because their role is to ensure that a complement-mediated immune response to infection is proportionate and targeted.

Quantification of C1 esterase inhibitor in human serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay: Correlation with turbidimetric immunoassay

Медицинская иммунология, 2023
C1 inhibitor of serine proteases (C1-INH) performs a regulatory function in the complement system and vascular permeability. Deficiency of C1-INH leads to various forms of angioedema, including hereditary angioedema (HAE).

Staphylococcus aureus proteins Sbi and Efb recruit human plasmin to degrade complement C3 and C3b [PDF]

, 2012
Upon host infection, the human pathogenic microbe Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) immediately faces innate immune reactions such as the activated complement system. Here, a novel innate immune evasion strategy of S. aureus is described.

Biochemical and functional studies of a novel complement inhibitor, CRIT, with its interaction partners [PDF]

, 2005
Complement C2 receptor trispanning (CRIT), a three transmembrane receptor, was first discovered on the surface of the parasite Schistosoma haematobium and formerly termed Schistosoma trispanning orphan receptor (Sh-TOR). This receptor acts as decoy C2-

Successful long-term prophylaxis of hereditary pregnancy-associated angioedema with plasma-derived C1-inhibitor concentrate: a case report

Медицинская иммунология, 2021
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare autosomal dominant disease caused by quantitative (type I) or functional (type II) deficiency in C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH). It may be caused by new mutations in up to 20% of patients.

Complement factor H-related proteins CFHR2 and CFHR5 represent novel ligands for the infection-associated CRASP proteins of Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]

, 2010
Background: One virulence property of Borrelia burgdorferi is its resistance to innate immunity, in particular to complement-mediated killing. Serum-resistant B.

An anesthetic experience of hereditary angioedema type I patient undertook total laparoscopic hysterectomy - A case report - [PDF]

Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2022
Background Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is an autosomal dominant disorder. The characteristic of HAE is recurrent angioedema episodes due to low C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) level.

Immune Evasion Strategies of Relapsing Fever Spirochetes

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Relapsing fever (RF) is claimed a neglected arthropod-borne disease caused by a number of diverse human pathogenic Borrelia (B.) species. These RF borreliae are separated into the groups of tick-transmitted species including B. duttonii, B.
