Complement in Kidney Transplantation

The complement system is considered to be an important part of innate immune system with a significant role in inflammation processes. The activation can occur through classical, alternative, or lectin pathway, resulting in the creation of anaphylatoxins C3a and C5a, possessing a vast spectrum of immune functions, and the assembly of terminal complement cascade, capable of direct cell lysis.

Degree distance index of the Mycielskian and its complement

In this paper, we determine the degree distance of the complement of arbitrary Mycielskian graphs. It is well known that almost all graphs have diameter two. We determine this graphical invariant for the Mycielskian of graphs with diameter two.

Complement related kidney diseases: Recurrence after transplantation

The recurrence of renal disease after renal transplantation is becoming one of the main causes of graft loss after kidney transplantation. This principally concerns some of the original diseases as the atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), the membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN), in particular the MPGN now called C3 glomerulopathy. Both this groups of renal diseases are characte...
