TSP-1 reduced C3 and C5 cleavage and formation of the membrane attack complex, attenuating complement-mediated injury in AAV models. Complement activation is a relevant driver in the pathomechanisms ...
A single-center study suggests complement inhibitors do not reduce the severity of a COVID-19 Omicron infection in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). A COVID-19 infection can ...
A localized complement-dependent hemolytic assay in modified Cunningham chambers for enumerating avian immunoglobulin-M (IgM)-secreting spleen cells is defined. The maximum number of IgM-secreting ...
Both hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) are characterized by thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), affecting mainly the kidney and brain, respectively. Diagnosis ...
Patients who are taking complement inhibitors may still experience breakthrough hemolysis associated with respiratory viral infections. Patients with PNH should be closely monitored for signs of ...
Left untreated, PNH could cause death in about half of patients within 10 years of diagnosis. The primary cause of PNH-related mortality is thromboembolic events. A host of anti-complement strategies, ...
