Echinococcus multilocularis Calreticulin Interferes with C1q-Mediated Complement Activation
As a zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus multilocularis larvae, alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is one of the most severe forms of parasitic infection. Over a long evolutional process E.

Emerging and novel functions of complement protein C1q [PDF]
Complement protein C1q, the recognition subcomponent of the classical pathway, performs a diverse range of complement and non-complement functions. It can bind various ligands derived from self, non-self and altered-self and modulate the functions of ...

MafB is a critical regulator of complement component C1q [PDF]
The transcription factor MafB is expressed by monocytes and macrophages. Efferocytosis (apoptotic cell uptake) by macrophages is important for inhibiting the development of autoimmune diseases, and is greatly reduced in Mafb-deficient macrophages.

Epigenetic regulation of complement C1Q gene expression. [PDF]
Human C1q is a multifaceted complement protein whose functions range from activating the complement classical pathway to immunomodulation and promoting placental development and tumorigenesis. It is encoded by the C1QA, C1QB, and C1QC genes located on chromosome 1.
