Changes in Expression of Complement Components in the Ovine Spleen during Early Pregnancy

Animals, 2021
During early gestation in humans, complement regulation is essential for normal fetal growth. It is supposed that a complement pathway participates in maternal splenic immune regulation at the early stage of gestation in ewes.

Functional Analysis of Two Divergent C4 Isotypes in the Classical and Lectin Pathways of Complement Activation in the Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
In the evolution of the complement system, a major humoral innate immune factor, the existence of multiple isotypes of the complement components is considered as a key strategy to enhance innate immune defense. Complement C4 is also diversified in a wide

Peptide inhibitor of complement C1 (PIC1), a novel suppressor of classical pathway activation: mechanistic studies and clinical potential

Frontiers in Immunology, 2014
The classical pathway of complement plays multiple physiological roles including modulating immunological effectors initiated by adaptive immune responses as well as an essential homeostatic role in the clearance of damaged self-antigens.

Complement components C1q, C1r/C1s, and C1inh in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]

Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1995
AbstractObjective. To analyze the synovial site and the cell types expressing C1q, C1r/C1s, and C1–esterase inhibitor (C1INH) and to characterize newly synthesized C1q in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods. Tissue and primary cell cultures of synovium from RA patients were analyzed for C1q, C1r/C1s, and C1INH by Northern blotting, in situ ...

Cell surface expression and function of the macromolecular C1 complex on the surface of human monocytes

Frontiers in Immunology, 2012
The synthesis of the subunits of the C1 complex (C1q, C1s, C1r), and its regulator C1 inhibitor (C1-Inh) by human monocytes has been previously established. However, surface expression of these molecules by monocytes has not been shown.
