1. Níveis séricos e polimorfismos gênicos da Lectina Ligadora de Manose (MBL) e da Serino Protease Associada à MBP (MASP)-2 em uma amostra da população brasileira / Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and MBL Associated Serine Protease (MASP)-2 serum levels and genetic polymorphisms in a Brazilian population sample
A Lectina Ligadora de Manose (MBL) é uma proteína que reconhece carboidratos na superfície microbiana levando à ativação do sistema complemento. Este processo é mediado por Serino Proteases tal como a MASP-2. O complexo MBL/MASP-2 é responsável pela formação da C3 convertase C4bC2b. Os níveis séricos de MBL e a MASP-2 (genes MBL2 e MASP-2, respe

2. Trypanosoma cruzi e o Sistema Complemento: Mecanismos de ativação e o papel do gene CRIT (Complement C2 Receptor Inhibitor Trispanning) na resistência à lise em cepas de classe I e II / Trypanosoma cruzi E O SISTEMA COMPLEMENTO: MECANISMOS DE ATIVAÇÃO E O PAPEL DO GENE CRIT (COMPLEMENT C2 RECEPTOR INHIBITOR TRISPANNING) NA RESISTÊNCIA À LISE EM CEPAS DE CLASSE I E II / Trypanosoma cruzi e o Sistema Complemento: Mecanismos de ativação e o papel do gene CRIT (Complement C2 Receptor Inhibitor Trispanning) na resistência à lise em cepas de classe I e II / Trypanosoma cruzi E O SISTEMA COMPLEMENTO: MECANISMOS DE ATIVAÇÃO E O PAPEL DO GENE CRIT (COMPLEMENT C2 RECEPTOR INHIBITOR TRISPANNING) NA RESISTÊNCIA À LISE EM CEPAS DE CLASSE I E II
Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease, infects 18 million people in Latin America. T. cruzi has an heteroxicenous life cycle infecting vertebrates and invertebrate hosts. Two classes of T. cruzi have been proposed based on molecular markers, the class I with a sylvatic life cycle infecting mostly marsupials, while class II parasites have a domestic

3. Origin of the classical complement pathway: Lamprey orthologue of mammalian C1q acts as a lectin
The lectin complement pathway in innate immunity is closely related to the classical complement pathway in adaptive immunity, with respect to the structures and functions of their components. Both pathways are initiated by complexes consisting of collagenous proteins and serine proteases of the mannose-binding lectin (MBL)-associated serine protease (MASP)/C

4. The classical pathway is the dominant complement pathway required for innate immunity to Streptococcus pneumoniae infection in mice
The complement system is an important component of the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens, including Streptococcus pneumoniae. The classical complement pathway is activated by antibody–antigen complexes on the bacterial surface and has been considered predominately to be an effector of the adaptive immune response, whereas the alternative and ma

5. Myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury is dependent on both IgM and mannose-binding lectin
Complement activation has been shown to play an important role in the inflammation and tissue injury following myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R). Several recent studies from our laboratory demonstrated the importance of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) as the initiation pathway for complement activation and the resulting pathological effects following M

6. Interaction of human monocytes, macrophages, and polymorphonuclear leukocytes with zymosan in vitro. Role of type 3 complement receptors and macrophage-derived complement.
Macrophages take up zymosan in the absence of exogenous complement via receptors for iC3b (type 3 complement receptors) acting with or without lectin-like receptors for mannosyl-fucosyl-terminated glycoconjugates. We previously provided evidence that macrophages themselves secrete complement-alternative pathway components able to opsonize zymosan locally (Ez

7. Complement classical pathway components are all important in clearance of apoptotic and secondary necrotic cells
Inherited deficiencies in components of the classical complement pathway are strong disease susceptibility factors for the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and there is a hierarchy among deficiency states, the strongest association being with C1q deficiency. We investigated the relative importance of the different complement pathways regardi

8. Deletion of wboA Enhances Activation of the Lectin Pathway of Complement in Brucella abortus and Brucella melitensis
Brucella spp. are gram-negative intracellular pathogens that survive and multiply within phagocytic cells of their hosts. Smooth organisms present O polysaccharides (OPS) on their surface. These OPS help the bacteria avoid the bactericidal action of serum. The wboA gene, coding for the enzyme glycosyltransferase, is essential for the synthesis of O chain in

9. H-ficolin serum concentration and susceptibility to fever and neutropenia in paediatric cancer patients
H-ficolin (Hakata antigen, ficolin-3) activates the lectin pathway of complement similar to mannose-binding lectin. However, its impact on susceptibility to infection is currently unknown. This study investigated whether the serum concentration of H-ficolin at diagnosis is associated with fever and neutropenia (FN) in paediatric cancer patients. H-ficolin wa
