ABSTRACT Sutimlimab is a monoclonal antibody against complement fraction C1s approved for the treatment of hemolytic anemia due to cold agglutinin disease (CAD). Here, we analyzed and report the largest international CAD cohort of sutimlimab‐treated patients ever reported to highlight its safety and effectiveness in the real‐world setting. We accrued a

We retrospectively evaluated the impact of C5 complement inhibition on immune cell profiles and recovery in 27 PNH patients; both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells exhibited partial recovery, while B cell counts increased but remained below normal levels. In contrast, Treg cells were significantly reduced in PNH patients and showed no notable change post‐treatment.

The Host-Pathogen Interactions and Epicellular Lifestyle of Neisseria meningitidis
Neisseria meningitidis is a gram-negative diplococcus and a transient commensal of the human nasopharynx. It shares and competes for this niche with a number of other Neisseria species including N. lactamica, N. cinerea and N. mucosa.

Genetic diversity of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C ST-4821 in China based on multiple-locus variable number tandem repeat analysis. [PDF]
Neisseria meningitidis sequence type (ST)-4821 was first reported in China in 2003, and a new hyper-virulent lineage has been designated as the ST-4821 complex. A large number of N.

ABSTRACT Aim Little is known about how socio‐economic factors influence severe childhood bacterial infections. We explored whether parental socio‐economic status correlates with the risk of invasive bacterial infections in the offspring. Methods Data on children < 16 years with community‐acquired blood or cerebrospinal fluid culture–positive bacterial ...

Differential activation of acid sphingomyelinase and ceramide release determines invasiveness of Neisseria meningitidis into brain endothelial cells. [PDF]
The interaction with brain endothelial cells is central to the pathogenicity of Neisseria meningitidis infections. Here, we show that N. meningitidis causes transient activation of acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) followed by ceramide release in brain ...
