C3 and C4 Complement Levels in Iron Deficiency Anemia
Background and Objectives: Complement proteins are some of the most important plasma proteins of the innate immune system. Impaired immune function is reported in subjects who are iron deficient, and there are documents that these patients are prone to infection. This study was conducted to show whether serum C3 and C4 complement change in adult nonpregnant female with iron deficient anemia or ...
متن کاملAssociation Between Serum Complement C3 Levels and Age-Related Cataract.
Purpose The serum complement component 3 (C3) concentration and clinical characteristics of age-related cataract (ARC) subjects were analyzed to evaluate whether serum C3 levels are correlated with ARC. Methods A total of 492 ARC patients and 466 normal subjects from the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai, China, were consecutive...
متن کاملPhagocytosis of leprosy bacilli is mediated by complement receptors CR1 and CR3 on human monocytes and complement component C3 in serum.
Mycobacterium leprae, an obligate intracellular pathogen, invades and multiplies within host mononuclear phagocytes. To understand M. leprae invasion better, we have investigated the role of phagocyte receptors and bacterium-bound ligands in phagocytosis of M. leprae by human monocytes. Complement receptors CR1 and CR3 mediate adherence and phagocytosis of M. leprae in nonimmune serum. Two MAbs...
متن کاملComplement activation and C3 binding by serum-sensitive and serum-resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The relationship among complement consumption, C3 deposition, and C3 fragmentation pattern was compared for serum-sensitive (Sers) and serum-resistant (Serr) strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The Sers strains, which were mucoid strains derived from patients with cystic fibrosis, had lipopolysaccharide deficient in O-antigen side chains. These organisms generally activated much less complement ...
متن کاملPlatelet-bound complement (C3) in immune thrombocytopenia.
The fixation of complement to the circulating platelet in immune thrombocytopenia was detected by measurement of one of the complement components, C3, on the surface of platelets from patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) using the anti-C3 consumption assay. The surface IgG was determined simultaneously using the previously described anti...
