Epitope specificities and quantitative and serologic aspects of monoclonal complement (C3c and C3d) antibodies

Transfusion, 1987
Twenty‐two monoclonal antibodies to human C3c and ten to C3d were obtained by hybridization after the immunization of mice with complement‐coated human red cells and/or purified human complement components. C3c antibodies were variable in their agglutination reactions with cells coated with C3 by antibody in vitro; more consistent and potent reactions ...

Inhibition of the classical activation pathway of complement‐mediated lysis by monoclonal antibodies to complement components C3c and C3d

Transfusion, 1992
Eight epitope‐mapped monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) to complement component C3d and five to complement component C3c were investigated to determine whether they could inhibit the classical activation pathway of complement‐mediated lysis (CML) by using blood group AB red cells sensitized by A or B MoAbs.

IUD-induced changes in cervical secretion content of albumin, IgG and complement C3c

Contraception, 1984
Cervical secretion albumin, IgG, complement C3c, spinnbarkeit and amount of wet weight mucus recovered were analyzed in a group of 13 women using IUD as a contraceptive method and the results were compared to those obtained in a control group. Significant differences were obtained when concentrations and amounts of soluble proteins in the respective ...

Structure of C3c in complex with compstatin reveals a new mechanism of complement inhibition

Molecular Immunology, 2007
Bert Janssen - Conformational Complexity of Complement Component C3 60 Undesired complement activation is a major cause of tissue injury in various pathological conditions and contributes to several immune complex diseases. Compstatin, a 13-residue peptide, is an effective inhibitor of C3 activation thus preventing a central and crucial step in ...

Development and clinical application of electroimmunoassays for the direct quantification of the complement C3 split products C3c and C3d

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 1984
The present report describes the development of electroimmunoassays for the direct quantification of C3d and C3c, split products of the third complement factor (C3). Both methods were developed as rocket immunoelectrophoreses, using two antibody preparations with specificities against the C and D epitopes on C3.

Complement C3c and C3d in plasma and synovial fluid in rheumatoid arthritis.

Acta pathologica, microbiologica, et immunologica Scandinavica. Section C, Immunology, 1984
By means of recently developed immunochemical assays increased levels of the complement C3c and C3d split products were found in synovial fluids of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as compared with synovial fluids of patients with traumatic synovitis (TS). In plasma, only the C3d levels were significantly increased compared with plasma levels of

Serum complement C3c concentration in non-obese young insulin-resistant Mexicans.

Diabetes, nutrition & metabolism, 2003
The aim of this study was to compare the serum complement C3 concentration between non-obese young insulin-sensitive and insulin-resistant Mexicans. A cross-sectional study was carried out in 28 healthy, non-obese [Body mass index (BMI) < 26 kg/m2] young (age 19-25 yr), male volunteers to measure the serum C3 concentration.

Competitive Enzyme-Linked Immunoassay for the Quantitation of Platelet-Associated Immunoglobulins (IgG, IgM, IgA) and Complement (C3c, C3d) with Polyclonal and Monoclonal Reagents

Vox Sanguinis, 1987
A competitive enzyme-linked immunoassay (CELIA) was developed for the quantitation of platelet-associated immunoglobulins and complement proteins. The use of unlabeled polyclonal rabbit or monoclonal antibodies to human immunoglobulins and enzyme-labeled anti-mouse or anti--rabbit IgG (double-step technique) resulted in a higher sensitivity compared to

[Expressions of complement C1q and C3c in rat brain tissues with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury].

Xi bao yu fen zi mian yi xue za zhi = Chinese journal of cellular and molecular immunology, 2013
To observe the expression levels of the complement fragment C1q and C3c in rat brain tissues with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, and explore the correlation, roles and mechanism of complement reaction and microglia in the brain I/R injury.A total of 48 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal control group, sham group, I ...

[Determination of various fractions of complement (Cl, C3c, C3a, C4) in a population of healthy neonates].

Bollettino della Societa italiana di biologia sperimentale, 1983
The authors have studied plasma levels of various complement fractions (C1,C3c,C3att.,C4) in 127 newborns. Referring to gestation period the studied subjects were divided as follows: 25 newborns (less than 37 weeks), 78 newborns (37-41 weeks), 21 newborns (more then 41 weeks).
