Pitfalls in complement analysis: A systematic literature review of assessing complement activation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
BackgroundThe complement system is an essential component of our innate defense and plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of many diseases. Assessment of complement activation is critical in monitoring both disease progression and response to therapy ...

On the Modulation Equations and Stability of Periodic GKdV Waves via Bloch Decompositions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In this paper, we complement recent results of Bronski and Johnson and of Johnson and Zumbrun concerning the modulational stability of spatially periodic traveling wave solutions of the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation. In this previous work it was

Interaction Between the Complement System and Infectious Agents – A Potential Mechanistic Link to Neurodegeneration and Dementia

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
As part of the innate immune system, complement plays a critical role in the elimination of pathogens and mobilization of cellular immune responses. In the central nervous system (CNS), many complement proteins are locally produced and regulate nervous ...

The Complement System

open access: yesInternational Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology, 1992
The human complement system (C) acts to lyse susceptible cells, to promote phagocytosis of target particles, and to solubilize immune-complexes, its activation generates peptides that mediate features of the inflammatory response. It is comprised of a series of plasma zymogens, activated by proteolytic cleavage in a cascade manner, and of plasma and ...
