Human Complement Receptors for C3b (CR1) and C3d (CR2)

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1985
The human C3b receptor (CR1) is a polymorphic glycoprotein comprised of a single polypeptide chain. Of the 4 allotype forms of CR1 that have been described, the 2 most common have Mr's of 250,000 and 260,000, and are regulated by alleles having frequencies in a Caucasian population of 81.5% and 18.5%, respectively.

Price Discovery and Efficiency in Uniswap Liquidity Pools

Journal of Futures Markets, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using almost three years of minute‐level data, we show that the efficiency of Uniswap v3 is much improved relative to v2, and some v3 pools are approaching or even exceeding Bitstamp in terms of price discovery ability. Regression results suggest that the channels of influence for these improvements are an increase in informed liquidity ...

Pathways to Progressive Disability in Multiple Sclerosis: The Role of Glial Cells in Chronic CNS Inflammation

Glia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common non‐infectious inflammatory CNS disease, characterized by progressive neurodegeneration and focal demyelinated lesions. Traditionally considered an autoimmune disease, MS is driven by the immune system's attack on CNS myelin, resulting in cumulative disability.

Structural basis for engagement by complement factor H of C3b on a self surface [PDF]

Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2011
Complement factor H (FH) attenuates C3b molecules tethered by their thioester domains to self surfaces and thereby protects host tissues. Factor H is a cofactor for initial C3b proteolysis that ultimately yields a surface-attached fragment (C3d) corresponding to the thioester domain.

Structural and Functional Characterization of the 28 kDa Structured Core of BmSA1, the Major Surface Antigen of Babesia Microti

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Babesiosis is a tick‐borne disease that poses a significant threat to animal health worldwide. In addition, climate change and the risk of human‐to‐human transmission through blood transfusion have made babesiosis an emerging disease in humans.

Identification of C3b-Binding Small-Molecule Complement Inhibitors Using Cheminformatics [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2017
AbstractThe complement system is an elegantly regulated biochemical cascade formed by the collective molecular recognition properties and proteolytic activities of more than two dozen membrane-bound or serum proteins. Complement plays diverse roles in human physiology, such as acting as a sentry against invading microorganisms, priming of the adaptive ...

The Biomaterial and Blood Clot Complex: A Crucial Early Environment for Osteo‐Coagulo‐Immunomodulation and the Advancement of Bone Biomaterials

Small Structures, EarlyView.
Various properties of bone biomaterials can modulate components of the blood clot (including the fibrin network, red blood cells, platelets, and the complement system) in vivo implantation, leading to the formation of a biomaterial–blood clot complex (BBCC) significantly impacting subsequent osteoimmunomodulation.

Human and Mouse Alzheimer's Seeds Differentially Affect Amyloid Deposition and Microglia‐Dependent Plaque Response in Aged Mice

Aging Cell, EarlyView.
This study shows that human and mouse brains contain a different pool of strains that differentially affect the formation of Aβ and tau aggregates. Moreover, the murine seeds trigger an unresponsiveness microglial state, which causes the loss of plaque microglial coverage and affects the formation of amyloid plaques, leading to more severe neuritic ...

Endothelial damage and complement dysregulation in fetuses from pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page 829-838, May 2025.
Preeclampsia fetuses show an altered profile of endothelial damage and complement biomarkers, like increased adhesion molecules, prothrombotic state, oxidative stress, and reduced complement membrane attack complex deposition on endothelial cells. Abstract Introduction Our objective was to evaluate the endothelial function profile and complement system
