Study of the variables associated with local complement activation in IgA nephropathy

open access: yesNefrología (English Edition), 2017
Objectives: 1. To identify the variables that are associated with urinary levels of properdin, MBL, C4d, and C5b-9 in patients with idiopathic IgA nephropathy. 2. To analyse whether urinary levels of MBL and/or C4d are useful for identifying the presence

Structural Basis for Properdin Oligomerization and Convertase Stimulation in the Human Complement System

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Properdin (FP) is a positive regulator of the immune system stimulating the activity of the proteolytically active C3 convertase C3bBb in the alternative pathway of the complement system. Here we present two crystal structures of FP and two structures of
