CD20 and CD37 antibodies synergize to activate complement by Fc-mediated clustering

Haematologica, 2019
CD20 monoclonal antibody therapies have significantly improved the outlook for patients with B-cell malignancies. However, many patients acquire resistance, demonstrating the need for new and improved drugs.

Lamprey Variable Lymphocyte Receptors Mediate Complement-Dependent Cytotoxicity [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2013
Abstract An alternative adaptive-immune system is present in the most basal vertebrates—lampreys and hagfish—the only surviving jawless vertebrates. These eel-like fish use leucine-rich repeat–based receptors for Ag recognition instead of the Ig-based receptors used in jawed vertebrates.

Endovascular trophoblast expresses CD59 to evade complement-dependent cytotoxicity [PDF]

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2019
In the human placenta, extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) invade maternal decidual tissues (interstitial trophoblasts) and maternal spiral arteries (endovascular trophoblasts). Although endovascular trophoblasts are directly exposed to maternal blood containing complement components, they are not eliminated by complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC).

The in vivo mechanism of action of CD20 monoclonal antibodies depends on local tumor burden

Haematologica, 2011
Background CD20 monoclonal antibodies are widely used in clinical practice. Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, complement-dependent cytotoxicity and direct cell death have been suggested to be important effector functions for CD20 antibodies ...

Enhanced CDC of B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells mediated by rituximab combined with a novel anti-complement factor H antibody. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Rituximab therapy for B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) has met with mixed success. Among several factors to which resistance can be attributed is failure to activate complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) due to protective complement ...

Variable sensitivity to complement-dependent cytotoxicity in murine models of neuromyelitis optica. [PDF]

J Neuroinflammation, 2016
Studies of neuromyelitis optica (NMO), an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS), have demonstrated that autoantibodies against the water channel aquaporin-4 (AQP4) induce astrocyte damage through complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC).

The Role of Complement in the Mechanism of Action of Therapeutic Anti-Cancer mAbs

Antibodies, 2020
Unconjugated anti-cancer IgG1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) activate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) by natural killer (NK) cells and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) by macrophages, and these activities are thought to be ...
