Complement and complement regulatory proteins in human tears.
PURPOSE The complement system is part of the innate defense system of the body, and it contributes to inflammatory conditions. The current study examined tears for the presence of complement components, the activity of the components, and the presence of regulatory components. METHODS The significance of a functional complement system in tears was examined in four ways. First, the presence an...
متن کاملGluR3 autoantibodies destroy neural cells in a complement-dependent manner modulated by complement regulatory proteins.
GluR3 autoantibodies have been implicated in the development of Rasmussen's encephalitis, a rare neurodegenerative disease of humans characterized by epilepsy and degeneration of a single cerebral hemisphere. GluR3 autoantibodies are found in some Rasmussen's encephalitis patients, and GluR3 antibodies raised in rabbits destroy cultured cortical cells in a complement-dependent manner. In this s...
متن کاملMembrane complement regulatory proteins.
A number of proteins anchored on the cell surface function to protect host tissues from bystander injury when complement is activated. In humans, they include decay-accelerating factor (DAF, CD55), membrane cofactor protein (MCP, CD46), complement receptor 1 (CR1, CD35) and CD59. Although disease conditions directly attributable to abnormal function of these proteins are relatively rare, it has...
متن کاملComplement regulatory proteins and autoimmunity.
To discriminate self from non-self is an essential issue in the immune system. Autologous cells are protected against complement-mediated cell injury by the self-recognition mechanism using complement regulatory proteins composed of complement receptor type 1 (CR1, CD35), membrane cofactor protein (MCP, CD46), decay accelerating factor (DAF, CD55) and homologous restriction factor (protectin, C...
متن کاملComplement receptors and regulatory proteins in human atherosclerotic lesions.
Complement activation in human atherosclerotic lesions is indicated by the presence of C5b-9 terminal complexes. By using monoclonal antibodies to the complement C3b receptor (CR1) and the iC3b receptor (CR3), it was observed that approximately 20% of the cells in complicated human carotid lesions express CR1 and CR3 antigens. One to five percent of complement receptor-positive cells stained fo...
