Marked central nervous system pathology in CD59 knockout rats following passive transfer of Neuromyelitis optica immunoglobulin G. [PDF]
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (herein called NMO) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system in which pathogenesis involves complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) produced by immunoglobulin G autoantibodies ...

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

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 ...
