A new perspective on the pathophysiology of kidney diseases: the intracellular complement system- “complosome” [PDF]
Frontiers in NephrologyThe complement cascade is a vital component of the innate immune system. It consists of around 50 proteins, including circulating complement proteins and membrane-bound receptors. It operates through three main activation pathways: classical, lectin, and

Complement Receptors and Their Role in Leukocyte Recruitment and Phagocytosis
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The complement system is deeply embedded in our physiology and immunity. Complement activation generates a multitude of molecules that converge simultaneously on the opsonization of a target for phagocytosis and activation of the immune system via ...

An Immunoregulatory Role for Complement Receptors in Murine Models of Breast Cancer
Antibodies, 2021 The complement system has demonstrated roles in regulating tumor growth, although these may differ between tumor types. The current study used two murine breast cancer models (EMT6 and 4T1) to investigate whether pharmacological targeting of receptors ...

Helix 8 in chemotactic receptors of the complement system.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2022 Host response to infection involves the activation of the complement system leading to the production of anaphylatoxins C3a and C5a. Complement factor C5a exerts its effect through the activation of C5aR1, chemotactic receptor 1, and triggers the G ...

RECEPTORS FOR COMPLEMENT ON LEUKOCYTES [PDF]
The Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1968 Sheep red blood cells sensitized by 7S, but not by 19S rabbit anti-Forssman antibodies, adhere and form rosettes on mouse macrophages and on a few monocytes and polymorphonuclear cells (PMN). When, however, C' factors from mouse serum are added to the antigen-19S antibody complex (EAC'), rosettes are formed on most mouse peritoneal macrophages and PMN ...

Innate and adaptive AAV-mediated immune responses in a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2023 High systemic doses of adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) have been associated with immune-related serious adverse events (SAEs). Although AAV was well tolerated in preclinical models, SAEs were observed in clinical trials, indicating the need for improved ...
