Nociceptive sensitization by complement C5a and C3a in mouse [PDF]
Pain, 2010 Activation of the complement system by injury increases inflammation by producing complement fragments C5a and C3a which are able to recruit and activate immune cells. Complement activation may contribute to pain after inflammation and injury. In this study, we examined whether C5a and C3a elicit nociception when injected into mouse hind paws in vivo ...

Complement Factor C5a Inhibits Apoptosis of Neutrophils—A Mechanism in Polytrauma? [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021 Life-threatening polytrauma results in early activation of the complement and apoptotic system, as well as leukocytes, ultimately leading to the clearance of damaged cells. However, little is known about interactions between the complement and apoptotic systems in PMN (polymorphonuclear neutrophils) after multiple injuries. PMN from polytrauma patients

Role of Complement and Histones in Sepsis
Frontiers in Medicine, 2020 The wide use of the mouse model of polymicrobial sepsis has provided important evidence for events occurring in infectious sepsis involving septic mice and septic humans.

Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: The complement fragment C5a is closely associated with adaptive immune induction in the mucosa. However, the mechanisms that control CD8+ T cell responses by C5a have not been extensively explored.

Detection of the complement fragment C5a in inflammatory exudates from the rabbit peritoneal cavity using radioimmunoassay. [PDF]
, 1983 We describe a radioimmunoassay for rabbit C5a and its use to obtain evidence of extravascular C5a generation in two inflammatory reactions in the peritoneal cavity.

Discovery of functionally selective C5aR2 ligands: novel modulators of C5a signalling. [PDF]
, 2016 The complement cascade is comprised of a highly sophisticated network of innate immune proteins that are activated in response to invading pathogens or tissue injury. The complement activation peptide, C5a, binds two seven transmembrane receptors, namely

Modulation of C5a–C5aR1 signaling alters the dynamics of AD progression
Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2022 Background The complement system is part of the innate immune system that clears pathogens and cellular debris. In the healthy brain, complement influences neurodevelopment and neurogenesis, synaptic pruning, clearance of neuronal blebs, recruitment of ...

The tumour microenvironment links complement system dysregulation and hypoxic signalling. [PDF]
, 2018 The complement system is an innate immune pathway typically thought of as part of the first line of defence against "non-self" species. In the context of cancer, complement has been described to have an active role in facilitating cancer-associated ...
