Functional Analysis of Ficolin-3 Mediated Complement Activation
The recognition molecules of the lectin complement pathway are mannose-binding lectin and Ficolin -1, -2 and -3. Recently deficiency of Ficolin-3 was found to be associated with life threatening infections. Thus, we aimed to develop a functional method based on the ELISA platform for evaluating Ficolin-3 mediated complement activation that could be applicable for research and clinical use. Bovi...
متن کاملMicroglial Activation in Rat Experimental Spinal Cord Injury Model
Background: The present study was designed to evaluate the secondary microglial activation processes after spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: A quantitative histological study was performed to determine ED-1 positive cells, glial cell density, and cavitation size in untreated SCI rats at days 1, 2, and 4, and weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4. Results: The results of glial cell quantification along the 4900...
متن کاملChronic progression of tubulointerstitial damage in proteinuric renal disease is mediated by complement activation: a therapeutic role for complement inhibitors?
The mechanisms by which increased urinary protein concentrations lead to nephrotoxic injury are certain to be multifactorial and involve complex interactions between numerous pathways of cellular damage mediated by both cellular and humoral pathways. These may include a major role for the podocyte in glomerular diseases leading to chronic renal failure, the loss of microvascular endothelium, th...
متن کاملLong pentraxin 3 in pulmonary infection and acute lung injury.
Long pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is a newly discovered acute phase protein produced at the sites of infection and inflammation by tissue cells, macrophages, monocytes, and dendritic cells. PTX3 plays an important role in preventing infection of certain fungi, bacteria, and viruses in the lung. Recombinant PTX3 has been proposed as a potential antifungal molecule for therapy. However, under certain exper...
متن کاملAlternative complement pathway activation increases mortality in a model of burn injury in mice.
We have studied the role of the complement system in burn injury in an experimental model in mice. A 25% body surface area, full-thickness scald wound was produced in anesthetized animals. Massive activation of the alternative complement pathway, but not the classical pathway, was seen. This activation was associated with the generation of neutrophil aggregating activity in the plasma, neutroph...
