Molecular Immunology, 2007
The human complement system is elemental to recognize bacteria, opsonize them for handling by phagocytes, or kill them by direct lysis. However, successful bacterial pathogens have in turn evolved ingenious strategies to overcome this part of the immune system.

Complement induction and complement evasion in patients with cerebral aspergillosis
Microbes and Infection, 2008Cerebral aspergillosis is a mostly lethal infection of the central nervous system. Former results identified low cerebral complement levels as one cause for insufficient immune reaction. Therefore we studied cerebral complement expression after fungal invasion and investigated putative mechanisms of Aspergillus spp to cope with the complement-induced ...

Complement Immune Evasion by Spirochetes
2017The complement system plays an important role in the innate and acquired immune response against pathogens. A sophisticated network of activating and regulating proteins allows the distinction between intact and damaged host and non-host surfaces such as bacteria and other parasites. Non-host structures trigger the alternative pathway which may lead to

Complement evasion strategies of microorganisms
Immunology Today, 1991The success of microorganisms as human pathogens stems partly from their ability to evade recognition and/or avoid destruction by complement and other natural and acquired defense mechanisms. Here, Neil Cooper reviews the various mechanisms that pathogens have evolved to evade the destructive actions of the complement system, with particular emphasis ...

Complement regulation in tumor immune evasion
Seminars in ImmunologyThe complement system plays crucial roles in both innate and adaptive immune responses, facilitating the elimination of pathogens such as microorganisms and damaged cells, including cancer cells. It is tightly regulated and integrated with cell-mediated immunity.

Complement in fungal infections and complement evasion strategies
2007Fungal infections are of particular importance in modern medicine. This is mainly due to an optimised iatrogenic immunosuppression, which, for example, enables a longer survival of organ transplantation recipients, or due to better treatment options for chronic infections or neoplastic diseases.
