Introduction: Complement factor H (FH) is a major regulator of the complement alternative pathway, its mutations predispose to an uncontrolled activation in the kidney and on blood cells and to secondary C3 deficiency. Plasma exchange has been used to correct for FH deficiency and although the thera...

The aim of this study was to characterize the impact of differential HIV opsonization on DC modulation. DCs are the most potent antigen-presenting cells and among the first cells HIV is attaching to. HIV spontaneously activates the complement system even in the absence of specific antibodies and is ...

MASP-3 is the third protease of the lectin pathway of the complement system, but its biological function has remained obscure. To elucidate its role in complement activation, we developed a specific MASP-3 inhibitor (named TFMI-3). In this work we unambiguously demonstrate that MASP-3 acts as the ex...

The secretion of metabolites by plant roots is a key determinant of microbial growth and colonisation. We have used Pisum sativum and its natural symbiont Rhizobium leguminosarum (it can form N2 fixing nodules on pea roots) to study the natural metabolites secreted by roots. To do this root secretio...

The cardiopulmonary nematode Angiostrongylus vasorum can cause severe disease in dogs, including coagulopathies manifesting with bleeding. We analysed A. vasorum excretory/secretory protein (ESP)-treated dog plasma and serum by N-terminome analysis using Terminal Amine Isotopic Labelling of Substrat...

Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is initiated when natural IgM antibodies recognize neo-epitopes that are revealed on ischemic cells. The target molecules and mechanisms whereby these neo-epitopes become accessible to recognition are not well understood. Proposing that isolated intestinal...

Mononuclear cells were isolated from granulocyte colony stimulating factor mobilised peripheral blood. CD34+ cells were selected and separated into adherent and non-adherent cells. Adherent and non-adherent samples were amplified and labelled using two IVT cycles, and gene expression profiling was p...
