Variable antibody-dependent activation of complement by functionalized phospholipid nanoparticle surfaces.
A wide variety of nanomaterials are currently being developed for use in the detection and treatment of human diseases. However, there is no systematic way to measure and predict the action of such materials in biological contexts. Lipid-encapsulated nanoparticles (NPs) are a class of nanomaterials that includes the liposomes, the most widely used and clinically proven type of NPs. Liposomes ca...
متن کاملActivation of human complement by immunoglobulin G antigranulocyte antibody.
The ability of antigranulocyte antibody to fix the third component of complement (C3) to the granulocyte surface was investigated by an assay that quantitates the binding of monoclonal anti-C3 antibody to paraformaldehyde-fixed cells preincubated with Felty's syndrome serum in the presence of human complement. The sera from 7 of 13 patients with Felty's syndrome bound two to three times as much...
متن کاملComplement activation by a univalent hapten-antibody complex.
The univalent hapten, nonadeca lysyl epsilon-Dnp-lysine, binds tightly to rabbit anti-2,4-dinitrophenyl antibody, and the complex has a sedimentation coefficient of 6.7, characteristic of a single antibody molecule. In this communication, we show that this complex is a good activator of the serum complement system. For activation to occur, the univalent hapten must contain the specific group wh...
متن کاملCharacteristics of complement-dependent release of phospholipid from Escherichia coli.
The release of (32)P-labeled bacterial phospholipid from a smooth Escherichia coli by serum components depends on complement activated by antibody. Phospholipid release in excess antibody tends to be proportional to the concentration of complement as does the release of other cellular constituents. Phospholipids are not simply stripped off during cell lysis. Whereas 94% of the total phospholipi...
متن کاملAntibody-independent complement activation by myelin via the classical complement pathway
Murine or rabbit whole brain homogenates were shown to activate human complement via the classical pathway by an antibody-independent reaction. This activity required Ca++ ions. Anticomplementary activity in fractionated murine brain was found to reside in the myelin fraction and in purified myelin. It was absent, however, both from highly purified myelin basic protein (MBP) and from the MBP-fr...
