The Complement System and Preeclampsia [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Hypertension Reports, 2017
Preeclampsia affects 3-4% of pregnancies with few treatment options to reduce maternal and fetal harm. Recent evidence that targeting the complement system may be an effective therapeutic strategy in prevention or treatment of preeclampsia will be reviewed.Studies in humans confirm the safety and efficacy of C5 blockade in complement-mediated disorders

Complement Evasion: An Effective Strategy That Parasites Utilize to Survive in the Host

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Parasitic infections induce host immune responses that eliminate the invading parasites. However, parasites have evolved to develop many strategies to evade host immune attacks and survive in a hostile environment. The complement system acts as the first

The Complement System in Schizophrenia [PDF]

open access: yesDrug News & Perspectives, 2008
Several lines of evidence suggest that immunological factors contribute to schizophrenia. Since 1989, the role of complement, a major effector of innate immunity and an adjuvant of adaptive immunity, has been explored in schizophrenia. Increased activity of C1, C3, C4 complement components in schizophrenia has been reported by two or more groups.
