Serum concentrations of complement C3 and C4 in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy
Journal of Veterinary Internal MedicineBackground High concentrations of complement factors are presented in serum of animal epilepsy models and human patients with epilepsy. Objectives To determine whether complement dysregulation occurs in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy (IE).

Borrelia burgdorferi Manipulates Innate and Adaptive Immunity to Establish Persistence in Rodent Reservoir Hosts. [PDF]
, 2017 Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato species complex is capable of establishing persistent infections in a wide variety of species, particularly rodents. Infection is asymptomatic or mild in most reservoir host species, indicating successful co-evolution of ...

Predicting Atomic Charges in MOFs by Topological Charge Equilibration
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.An atomic charge prediction method is presented that is able to accurately reproduce ab‐initio‐derived reference charges for a large number of metal–organic frameworks. Based on a topological charge equilibration scheme, static charges that fulfill overall neutrality are quickly generated.

Rapid activation of the complement system by cuprophane depends on complement component C4 [PDF]
Kidney International, 1998 Hemodialysis with cuprophane dialyzer membranes promotes rapid activation of the complement system, which is thought to be mediated by the alternative pathway. Complete hereditary deficiency of complement C4, a classical pathway component, in two hemodialysis patients provided the opportunity to investigate a possible role of the classical pathway.

Bio‐Inspired Molecular Events in Poly(Ionic Liquids)
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Originating from dipolar and polar inter‐ and intra‐chain interactions of the building blocks, the topologies and morphologies of poly(ionic liquids) (PIL) govern their nano‐ and micro‐processibility. Modulating the interactions of cation‐anion pairs with aliphatic dipolar components enables the tunability of properties, facilitated by “bottom‐up ...

Effect of thiol compounds on human complement component C4 [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1993 Thiol compounds have been investigated as inhibitors of the covalent binding reaction of human complement protein C4 using Sepharose-C1s as a combined activating and binding surface. o- and p-substituted aminothiophenols are equally effective inhibitors, whereas the m-substituted compound is a less potent inhibitor. The anti-hypertensive drug captopril

Blood immunoglobulins, complement and TNF receptor following minimally invasive surgery in patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy [PDF]
, 2015 The reasons for improved survival following minimally invasive surgery remain elusive. Circulating mediators link surgical trauma, vascular and tissue homeostasis. Acute phase reactants, leukocytes and leukocyte Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are affected
