Circulating Complement Levels and C3 Glomerulopathy [PDF]

Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2014
The complement system is an essential part of innate immunity acting as a first-line defense against infection and provides an interface between innate and adaptive immunity ([1][1],[2][2]). It consists of a network of soluble (fluid phase) and cell membrane proteins (solid phase).

Complement C3 Is Activated in Human AD Brain and Is Required for Neurodegeneration in Mouse Models of Amyloidosis and Tauopathy

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Complement pathway overactivation can lead to neuronal damage in various neurological diseases. Although Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by β-amyloid plaques and tau tangles, previous work examining complement has largely focused on ...

Assessment of the Role of C3(H2O) in the Alternative Pathway

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
In this study we investigate the hydrolysis of C3 to C3(H2O) and its ability to initiate activation via the alternative pathway (AP) of the complement system.

Recurrent pyogenic infections caused by a novel Gln1420* mutation in the C3 gene

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
C3 is a crucial protein of the complement system. Congenital C3 deficiency is extremely rare and manifests through recurrent, severe infections and should always be considered as a differential diagnosis of recurrent pyogenic infections. We report a case

A hierarchical role for classical pathway complement proteins in the clearance of apoptotic cells in vivo [PDF]

, 2000
The strongest susceptibility genes for the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in humans are null mutants of classical pathway complement proteins. There is a hierarchy of disease susceptibility and severity according to the position of the

COMPLEMENT-MEDIATED ADIPOCYTE LYSIS BY NEPHRITIC FACTOR SERA [PDF]

, 1993
Recent data indicate a previously unsuspected link between the complement system and adipocyte biology. Murine adipocytes produce key components of the alternative pathway of complement and are able to activate this pathway.

CFH, C3 and ARMS2 are significant risk loci for susceptibility but not for disease progression of geographic atrophy due to AMD. [PDF]

, 2009
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a prevalent cause of blindness in Western societies. Variants in the genes encoding complement factor H (CFH), complement component 3 (C3) and age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2 (ARMS2) have repeatedly been
