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.

Conformational Complexity of Complement Component C3
, 2007 The structures of native C3 and its major fragment C3c have provided a wealth of structural insights into the central protein of the complement system. The proteolytic activation steps, generating the important fragments C3b and iC3b, are thought to induce significant conformational changes in the molecule, yielding protein molecules with distinct ...

Complement C3 and allergic asthma: a cohort study of the general population
European Respiratory Journal, 2020 Complement C3 plays a role in asthma development and severity. We tested the hypothesis that high plasma complement C3 concentration is associated with high risks of asthma hospitalisation and exacerbation.

Eculizumab treatment: stochastic occurrence of C3 binding to individual PNH erythrocytes
Journal of Hematology & Oncology, 2017 Background C5 blockade by eculizumab prevents complement-mediated intravascular hemolysis in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). However, C3-bound PNH red blood cells (RBCs), arising in almost all treated patients, may undergo extravascular ...
