C-Reactive Protein Binds to Cholesterol Crystals and Co-Localizes with the Terminal Complement Complex in Human Atherosclerotic Plaques

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
Inflammation is a part of the initial process leading to atherosclerosis and cholesterol crystals (CC), found in atherosclerotic plaques, which are known to induce complement activation.

Trichinella spiralis Calreticulin Binds Human Complement C1q As an Immune Evasion Strategy

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
As a multicellular parasitic nematode, Trichinella spiralis regulates host immune responses by producing a variety of immunomodulatory molecules to escape from host immune attack, but the mechanisms underlying the immune evasion are not well understood ...

C1q Regulates Horizontal Cell Neurite Confinement in the Outer Retina

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2020
During development, neurons generate excess processes which are then eliminated in concert with circuit maturation. C1q is the initiating protein in the complement cascade and has been implicated in this process, but whether C1q-mediated elimination is ...

Antimicrobial peptides and complement in neonatal hypoxia-ischemia induced brain damage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a clinical condition in the neonate, resulting from oxygen deprivation around the time of birth. HIE affects 1-5/1000 live births worldwide and is associated with the development of neurological deficits ...

Complement Activation-Independent Attenuation of SARS-CoV-2 Infection by C1q and C4b-Binding Protein

open access: yesViruses, 2023
The complement system is a key component of the innate immune response to viruses and proinflammatory events. Exaggerated complement activation has been attributed to the induction of a cytokine storm in severe SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Potential of Murine IgG1 and Human IgG4 to Inhibit the Classical Complement and Fcγ Receptor Activation Pathways

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
IgG antibodies (Abs) mediate their effector functions through the interaction with Fcγ receptors (FcγRs) and the complement factors. The main IgG-mediated complement activation pathway is induced through the binding of complement C1q to IgG Abs.

Efficient Preparation of Homogenous Antibody Conjugates via Glycosite‐Specific Transglycosylation Enabled by Readily Available Glycosyl Donors

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A streamlined platform for glycosite‐specific antibody conjugation is enabled by LacNAc‐derived cyclic acetal donors, which can be prepared in only two steps and used directly in single‐enzyme Endo S2‐mediated transglycosylation. The platform supports the broad construction of homogeneous gsADCs and gsDACs, with donor 7 producing glycoengineered ...

Interaction Studies of Hexameric and Pentameric IgMs with Serum-Derived C1q and Recombinant C1q Mimetics

open access: yesLife
The interaction between IgM and C1q represents the first step of the classical pathway of the complement system in higher vertebrates. To identify the significance of particular IgM/C1q interactions, recombinant IgMs were used in both hexameric and ...
