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 ...

Innate and adaptive AAV-mediated immune responses in a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2023
High systemic doses of adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) have been associated with immune-related serious adverse events (SAEs). Although AAV was well tolerated in preclinical models, SAEs were observed in clinical trials, indicating the need for improved ...

The many roles of C1q

eLife, 2020
The ability of a well-known component of the complement cascade to bind to a variety of receptors has implications for signaling biology, spinal cord injury and, possibly, the evolution of the complement system.

Complement System: An Immunotherapy Target in Colorectal Cancer

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignant tumor and the second most fatal cancer worldwide. Several parts of the immune system contribute to fighting cancer including the innate complement system.

Properdin Modulates Complement Component Production in Stressed Human Primary Retinal Pigment Epithelium Cells

Antioxidants, 2020
The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) maintains visual function and preserves structural integrity of the retina. Chronic dysfunction of the RPE is associated with retinal degeneration, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Complement 1q/Tumor Necrosis Factor-Related Proteins (CTRPs): Structure, Receptors and Signaling

Biomedicines, 2023
Adiponectin and the other 15 members of the complement 1q (C1q)/tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related protein (CTRP) family are secreted proteins composed of an N-terminal variable domain followed by a stalk region and a characteristic C-terminal ...

Complement Plays a Critical Role in Inflammation-Induced Immunoprophylaxis Failure in Mice

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Complement impacts innate and adaptive immunity. Using a model in which the human KEL glycoprotein is expressed on murine red blood cells (RBCs), we have shown that polyclonal immunoprophylaxis (KELIg) prevents alloimmunization to transfused RBCs when a ...

Neuropilin-1 Acts as a Receptor for Complement Split Products

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Complement split products (CSPs), such as the fragments C4d and C3d, which are generated as a consequence of complement regulatory processes, are established markers for disease activity in autoimmunity or antibody-mediated graft rejection.

CR2 Complement Receptor

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1990
CR2, a membrane glycoprotein, is one of a number of cell-surface proteins which bind activation and processing fragments of the complement system. CR2, which is found on normal B lymphocytes, follicular dendritic cells in lymphoid organs, and epithelial cells, interacts preferentially with C3dg, the terminal activation/processing fragment of the third ...

Complement Proteins as Soluble Pattern Recognition Receptors for Pathogenic Viruses

Viruses, 2021
The complement system represents a crucial part of innate immunity. It contains a diverse range of soluble activators, membrane-bound receptors, and regulators.
