Autoantibodies against Complement C1q Specifically Target C1q Bound on Early Apoptotic Cells [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2009
AbstractAutoantibodies against complement C1q (anti-C1q) are frequently found in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). They strongly correlate with the occurrence of severe lupus nephritis, suggesting a pathogenic role in SLE. Because anti-C1q are known to recognize a neoepitope on bound C1q, but not on fluid-phase C1q, the aim of this ...

Structural features of human immunoglobulin G that determine isotype-specific differences in complement activation. [PDF]

, 1993
Although very similar in sequence, the four subclasses of human immunoglobulin G (IgG) differ markedly in their ability to activate complement. Glu318-Lys320-Lys322 has been identified as a key binding motif for the first component of complement, C1q ...

C1q nephropathy developing in a case of gastric carcinoma

Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2019
C1q is a key intermediary in the classical complement pathway. It is known to be activated by several factors including immunoglobulins and charged molecules and is an initiator of the complement cascade.

Is serum complement C1q related to major depressive disorder?

Indian J Psychiatry, 2020
Major depressive disorder (MDD) has a high global incidence. While the pathogenesis of depression remains unknown, accumulating evidence has implicated inflammatory changes.The aim of the study is to compare the serum complement C1q levels in patients with MDD and healthy controls.The design was a case-control study.Blood samples were collected from ...

Matrix: a complex amalgam of structures and functions in tumor microenvironment

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The matrix is a dynamic, intricate three‐dimensional mesh of biomolecules with both structural and functional properties. This review deals with the complexity of this ‘molecular amalgam’ in the tumor microenvironment and highlights its importance in the maintenance and evolution of tumors by describing certain matrix biomolecules, such as ...

C1q and the classical complement cascade in geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration

International Journal of Retina and Vitreous, 2022
Geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a retinal neurodegenerative disorder. Human genetic data support the complement system as a key component of pathogenesis in AMD, which has been further supported by pre ...

A common theme in interaction of bacterial immunoglobulin-binding proteins with immunoglobulins illustrated in the equine system [PDF]

, 2008
The M protein of Streptococcus equi subsp. equi known as fibrinogen-binding protein (FgBP) is a cell wall-associated protein with antiphagocytic activity that binds IgG. Recombinant versions of the seven equine IgG subclasses were used to investigate the
