Studies on the structure and activity of rabbit Clq (a subcomponent of the first component of complement).
1. The subunit structure of rabbit subcomponent C1q was examined in a previous publication (Reid et al., 1972). The present paper describes some aspects of the structure of the polypeptide chains derived from the molecule. 2. The three polypeptide chains, produced by performic oxidation, of rabbit subcomponent C1q were isolated by ion-exchange chromatography in 8m-urea on DEAE-cellulose. 3. Eac...
متن کاملTHE INHIBITION OF PLASMIN, PLASMA KALLIKREIN, PLASMA PERMEABILITY FACTOR, AND THE C'1r SUBCOMPONENT OF THE FIRST COMPONENT OF COMPLEMENT BY SERUM C'1 ESTERASE INHIBITOR
The fraction of human serum designated as C'1 esterase inhibitor is known to inhibit the action of C'1 esterase, a plasma kallikrein, and PF/Dil, an enzyme in plasma enhancing cutaneous vascular permeability. In the present study, C'1 esterase inhibitor has been found to block the actions of plasmin and the C'1r subcomponent of the first component of complement, and to retard the generation of ...
متن کاملComplement C1q Has a Novel Tetrameric Structure in Nile Tilapia (oreochromis Niloticus)
Complement C1q is the first subcomponent of the classical complement pathway, and a major molecule connecting link between innate and adaptive immunity. Mammalian C1q is a hexamer of a molecular weight about 410 kDa; however, little is known about its structural characteristics in teleost. In this study, a rapid method for isolation of the C1q (OnC1q) was developed to investigate its biochemica...
متن کاملPlasma-derived Extracellular Vesicles Contain Predictive Biomarkers and Potential Therapeutic Targets for Myocardial Ischemic (MI) Injury.
Myocardial infarction (MI) triggers a potent inflammatory response via the release of circulatory mediators, including extracellular vesicles (EVs) by damaged cardiac cells, necessary for myocardial healing. Timely repression of inflammatory response are critical to prevent and minimize cardiac tissue injuries, nonetheless, progression in this aspect remains challenging. The ability of EVs to t...
متن کاملDimeric, trimeric and tetrameric complexes of immunoglobulin G fix complement.
The binding of pure dimers, trimers and tetramers of randomly cross-linked non-immune rabbit immunoglobulin G to the first component and subcomponent of the complement system, C1 and C1q respectively, was studied. These oligomers possessed open linear structures. All three oligomers fixed complement with decreasing affinity in the order: tetramer, trimer, dimer. Complement fixation by dimeric i...
