FUNCTIONAL ACTIVITY OF COMPLEMENT CLASSIC WAY ACTIVATION COMPONENTS AND ART1CULAS DAMAGE IN RHEUMATOID ARTRITIS

Научно-практическая ревматология, 2000
A relationship between X - ray joints changes and functional activity of classical pathway complement components in R4 was investigated. 31 patients with the moderate activity ofRA (ARA 1987) have been examined. Disease duration was 4,5lyear±3,84 (SD). X-

Genome-wide association study for serum complement C3 and C4 levels in healthy Chinese subjects. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2012
Complement C3 and C4 play key roles in the main physiological activities of complement system, and their deficiencies or over-expression are associated with many clinical infectious or immunity diseases.

Clinical Significance of Therapeutic Drug Level Monitoring for Mycophenolate in Patients with Extra‐Renal Systemic Lupus Erythematosus – A Systematic Review & Meta‐analysis

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Background Clinical response to Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is highly heterogeneous; thus, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) may help improve treatment efficacy. This systematic review and meta‐analysis examined therapeutic ranges for MPA levels associated with better outcomes and safety in patients with SLE, particularly those with extra‐renal ...

Early Components of the Complement Classical Activation Pathway in Human Systemic Autoimmune Diseases

Frontiers in Immunology, 2016
The complement system consists of effector proteins, regulators, and receptors that participate in host defense against pathogens. Activation of the complement system, via the classical pathway (CP), has long been recognized in immune complex-mediated ...

Randomized Fast Design of Short DNA Words

, 2005
We consider the problem of efficiently designing sets (codes) of equal-length DNA strings (words) that satisfy certain combinatorial constraints. This problem has numerous motivations including DNA computing and DNA self-assembly.

Combinatorial functions of two chimeric antibodies directed to human CD4 and one directed to the a-chain of the human interleukin-2 receptor [PDF]

, 1992
The general feasibility of chimerization of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) has already been shown for a large number of them. In order to evaluate in vitro parameters relevant to immunosuppressive therapy, we have chimerized and synthesized two anti-CD4 ...
