Complement activation and protein adsorption by carbon nanotubes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
As a first step to validate the use of carbon nanotubes as novel vaccine or drug delivery devices, their interaction with a part of the human immune system, complement, has been explored.

The effects of tidal volume size and driving pressure levels on pulmonary complement activation: an observational study in critically ill patients

open access: yesIntensive Care Medicine Experimental, 2020
Background Mechanical ventilation can induce or even worsen lung injury, at least in part via overdistension caused by too large volumes or too high pressures.

Human complement factor H [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
We isolated cDNA clones coding for the functionally important tryptic N-terminal38- kDa fragment of human complement control protein factor H using polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies to screen a human liver cDNA library cloned in a bacterial expression

Complement is activated by elevated IgG3 hexameric platforms and deposits C4b onto distinct antibody domains

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
IgG3 is unique among the IgG subclasses due to its extended hinge, allotypic diversity and enhanced effector functions, including highly efficient pathogen neutralisation and complement activation.

SALO, a novel classical pathway complement inhibitor from saliva of the sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Blood-feeding insects inject potent salivary components including complement inhibitors into their host's skin to acquire a blood meal. Sand fly saliva was shown to inhibit the classical pathway of complement; however, the molecular identity of the ...

Freeze-dried plasma proteins are stable at room temperature for at least 1 year

open access: yesClinical Proteomics, 2017
Thirty human EDTA plasma samples from male and female subjects ranging in age from 24 to 74 years were collected on ice, processed ice cold and stored frozen at −80 °C, in liquid nitrogen (LN2), or freeze dried and stored at room temperature in a ...

Neuron-Specific HuR-Deficient Mice Spontaneously Develop Motor Neuron Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Human Ag R (HuR) is an RNA binding protein in the ELAVL protein family. To study the neuron-specific function of HuR, we generated inducible, neuron-specific HuR-deficient mice of both sexes.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae co-opts C4b-binding protein to enhance complement-independent survival from neutrophils

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2022
Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Gc) is a human-specific pathogen that causes the sexually transmitted infection gonorrhea. Gc survives in neutrophil-rich gonorrheal secretions, and recovered bacteria predominantly express phase-variable, surface-expressed opacity-

The region Ser333‐Arg356 of the α‐chain of human C4b‐binding protein is involved in the binding of complement C4b [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1993
Human C4b‐binding protein (C4BP) functions as a cofactor to factor I in the degradation of C4b and accelerates the decay rate of the C4b2a complex. In this study we describe a monoclonal antibody directed against the α‐chain of C4BP that inhibits the binding of C4b to C4BP.
