Complement Regulatory Proteins [PDF]
In this issue of JASN , Turnberg et al. ([1][1]) report that the manifestations of disease in an immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis model are exacerbated in Cd59a knockout mice. Exacerbation was associated with an increase in C9 deposition in glomeruli, suggesting that the deficiency ...

Mutations in complement regulatory proteins predispose to preeclampsia: a genetic analysis of the PROMISSE cohort. [PDF]
Pregnancy in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or antiphospholipid antibodies (APL Ab)--autoimmune conditions characterized by complement-mediated injury--is associated with increased risk of preeclampsia and miscarriage. Our previous studies

Complement regulatory proteins and autoimmunity
The complement system is known to be involved in autoimmunity at several levels. Activated complement contributes to the inflammatory tissue injury characteristic of many autoimmune disease settings. On the other hand, early components of the classical pathway, including C1q, C4 and C2, are thought to be important for disposing apoptotic cellular ...

Antibodies against complement-regulatory proteins on platelets in immune thrombocytopenia
In immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), antibodies reacting with platelet membrane glycoproteins (GP) mediate premature platelet cleavage, resulting in thrombocytopenia and therefore a risk of bleeding.

Primary extranodal diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma: Molecular features, treatment, and prognosis
One‐third of DLBCL arises from extranodal organs and is challenging to manage. Molecular features are critical to elucidate the differences in clinical features, predict the disease prognosis, and improve effective targeted therapeutic strategies. Abstract Diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtype of non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma and ...

The Complement System: A Prey of Trypanosoma cruzi
Trypanosoma cruzi is a protozoan parasite known to cause Chagas disease (CD), a neglected sickness that affects around 6–8 million people worldwide. Originally, CD was mainly found in Latin America but more recently, it has been spread to countries in ...
