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.

C1q and phagocytosis: the perfect complement to a good meal [PDF]
Abstract Review on the role for C1q in enhancement of phagocytosis, specifically focusing on C1q-mediated clearance of apoptotic cells. Complement component C1q is a member of a family of soluble proteins called defense collagens, which are important in host defense and apoptotic cell clearance.

The role of complement component C1q in angiogenesis
The complement component C1q plays a role as a pro-angiogenic factor in different contexts, acting in a complement-independent way. For example, this molecule is able to foster the remodeling of the spiral arteries for a physiological pregnancy and to promote the wound healing process.

Complement Component C1q and Anti‐C1q Antibodies in Theory and in Clinical Practice [PDF]
AbstractThe complement system is a major part of the innate immunity. The first component of the classical pathway of complement activation, C1q, plays a crucial role in the clearance of immune complexes and apoptotic bodies from the organism. Autoantibodies against C1q (anti‐C1q) have been found in a number of autoimmune and infectious diseases.

TGF-β Signaling Regulates Neuronal C1q Expression and Developmental Synaptic Refinement [PDF]
Immune molecules, including complement proteins C1q and C3, have emerged as critical mediators of synaptic refinement and plasticity. Complement localizes to synapses and refines the developing visual system via C3-dependent microglial phagocytosis of ...
