Genetic linkage between serum levels of the third component of complement and the H-2 complex
AKR/J (H-2kk) mice have higher serum C3 levels than DBA/2J (H-2dd). The F1 hybrids have intermediate levels. Analysis of the progeny of backcrosses at 21 days of age shows that C3 levels in mice of H-2dk type are significantly higher than those with H-2dd type and lower than those with H-2kk type. In addition, mice of H-2kk, H-2dk, and H-2dd types have C3 levels not significantly different from...
متن کاملSusceptibility to advanced age-related macular degeneration and alleles of complement factor H, complement factor B, complement component 2, complement component 3, and age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2 genes in a Mexican population
PURPOSE To investigate the association of age-related macular degeneration (AMD)-high risk alleles of the complement factor H (CFH), complement factor B (CFB), complement component 2 (C2), complement component 3 (C3), and age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2 (ARMS2) genes in a Mexican population for the first time. METHODS Genotyping was performed for the Y402H variant of CFH, for the L9H...
متن کاملExpression of complement component 3 (C3) from an adenovirus leads to pathology in the murine retina.
PURPOSE Activation of complement has been implicated as one of the major causes of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Evidence is accumulating for a role of complement in other retinal diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy and proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Because of the paucity of animal models that directly investigate the role of complement in retinal pathology, the authors sought t...
متن کاملMolecular map of the murine S region ( H - 2 / fourth component of complement / factor B / cosmid cloning / transcriptional control )
Eighteen overlapping cosmid clones spanning 240 kilobases and encoding the gene for factor B and two genes related to the fourth component of complement (C4) were isolated from a murine H-2d genomic library. Cosmid clones were identified by hybridization to human cDNA probes for factor B and C4 and were linked by chromosomal walking procedures. The cluster of clones contains two regions with se...
متن کاملGenetic variants of complement component 3 (C3) in DR4 positive and DR4 negative rheumatoid arthritis.
C3 allotypes were defined in 86 Caucasoid patients with rheumatoid arthritis living in the north west of England and in 80 local, healthy controls. C3 allotype and phenotype frequencies were similar in RA (whether DR4 positive or negative) and control groups.
