The complement model disease paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
European Journal of Immunology, Volume 54, Issue 11, November 2024.Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a complement‐mediated disease. Anti‐C5 therapy offers tremendous benefits to patients, but pharmacodynamic events (e.g. extravascular hemolysis) may limit the clinical response in some. The elucidation of these unexpected mechanisms allowed deeper insights into how the complement cascade works and promoted ...
