The alternative pathway of complement activation may be involved in the renal damage of human anti-glomerular basement membrane disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Linear deposition of IgG and complement 3 (C3) along glomerular basement membrane (GBM) is generally revealed in the kidneys of human anti-GBM disease. Our recent studies demonstrated the pathogenic role of complement activation in renal damage of this ...

Determination of Severity of Murine IgA Nephropathy by Glomerular Complement Activation by Aberrantly Glycosylated IgA and Immune Complexes [PDF]
, 2012 The pathogenic roles of glomerular deposition of components of the complement cascade in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) are not completely clarified. To investigate the pathologic role of complement pathways in IgAN, two IgAN-prone mouse models were examined ...

Blood protein adsorption onto chitosan [PDF]
, 2002 Chitosan was recently indicated to enhance osteogenesis, improve wound healing but to activate the coagulation and the complement systems. In the present study approximately 10nm thick chitosan film were prepared on aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES ...

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page 829-838, May 2025.Preeclampsia fetuses show an altered profile of endothelial damage and complement biomarkers, like increased adhesion molecules, prothrombotic state, oxidative stress, and reduced complement membrane attack complex deposition on endothelial cells. Abstract Introduction Our objective was to evaluate the endothelial function profile and complement system

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 10, March 13, 2025.Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder marked by reduced platelet levels and heightened susceptibility to bleeding resulting from augmented autologous platelet destruction and diminished thrombopoiesis. It is found that the lectin pathway of the complement system, resistin, MIF, and AA metabolism may serve as promising targets for ...

Two New Kindreds with Complete Factor D Deficiency
European Journal of Immunology, Volume 55, Issue 3, March 2025.The complement system plays a crucial role in immune defense, and factor D deficiency is a rare immunodeficiency associated with life‐threatening bacterial infections. We report two new cases of complete factor D deficiency, including the first described in a Down syndrome patient, highlighting the need to investigate complement deficiencies in ...
