COMPLEMENT ALLOTYPING IN SLE: ASSOCIATION WITH C4A NULL
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Medicine, 1983Abstract: Immunogenetic factors are important in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and deficiency of a number of complement components is often associated with a lupuslike illness. The complement components Bf, C2 and C4 are encoded within the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and are polymorphic.

Complement C4A, C4B and BF haplotypes in Koreans
Tissue Antigens, 1996Specific alleles at C4A, C4B and BF loci occur in populations and are inherited in complotypes, which are linked with particular HLA haplotypes. Considerable differences in complement allele and complotype frequencies have been observed among various ethnic groups.

The Phenotype of SLE Associated with Complete Deficiency of Complement Isotype C4A
Journal of Clinical Immunology, 1998Complete deficiency of the complement C4A isotype is a known genetic risk factor for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The disease phenotype of C4A-deficient patients has never been defined. Among 200 patients with SLE from five centers, 18 (9%) with C4A deficiency were identified.

Complement Activation Products C3a and C4a as Endogenous Antimicrobial Peptides
International Journal of Peptide Research and Therapeutics, 2009All vertebrate species are constantly challenged by infectious agents and pathogens. In order to fight these infectious agents the human host has developed a sophisticated and powerful immune defense. The complement system, which represents the first defense line of innate immunity is activated immediately, within seconds.

Glomerular deposition of the complement C4 isotypes C4A and C4B in glomerulonephritis
Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 1996Complement C4 is a component of the classical complement pathway, which is a major mediator of inflammation in many forms of glomerulonephritis. The two isoforms of C4-C4A and C4B-differ in their physicochemical and functional properties.The glomerular deposition of C4A and C4B was investigated in 39 cases of glomerulonephritis with classical pathway ...

Complement C4A and C4B Gene Copy Number Study in Alzheimer's Disease Patients
Current Alzheimer Research, 2017Background/Objectives: Increasing evidence suggests the importance of neuroinflammation in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), which is a complex neurodegenerative disorder. Complement activation occurs in the brain of patients with AD and seems to contribute to an important local inflammatory state. Increased expression of the fourth serum

Complement Components C4A and C4B in Human Lupus
2005For over half a century low serum complement C4 concentrations have been recognized as a manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, the role of C4 in human SLE remains elusive. This is partly because of the unusually complex C4 genetics with frequent variations in gene number, gene size, protein isoforms, and expression levels.

Human Complement Components C4A and C4B Genetic Diversities: Complex Genotypes and Phenotypes
Current Protocols in Immunology, 2005AbstractThis unit describes methods that can accurately determine the genotypes and phenotypes of human complement components C4A and C4B. Specifically, they allow investigators to determine how many C4 genes are present in a diploid genome of a human subject and to quantify how many of them encode C4A proteins and how many of them encode C4B proteins.
