The complement system consists of a number of small proteins found in the blood, in general synthesized by the liver, and normally circulating as inactive precursors (pro-proteins). When stimulated by ...
The lectin pathway is the third pathway in the complement cascade, discovered after the classical and alternative pathways. It more closely resembles the classical pathway due to similar binding ...
Omeros also has identified MASP-3 as the protein that is critical to the activation of the complement system’s alternative pathway in humans, which is linked to a wide range of immune-related ...
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Omeros Corporation (Nasdaq: OMER) today announced publication of study results showing that inhibition of mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-2 (MASP-2) protects ...
Complement research experienced a renaissance with the discovery of a third activation route, the lectin pathway. We developed a unique model of total lectin pathway deficiency, a mouse strain lacking ...
Activation of the complement system through the alternative pathway is necessary for the development of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) in animal models C5a has ...
SEATTLE, July 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Omeros Corporation (NASDAQ: OMER) today reported that it believes it has identified the proteins that activate the alternative pathway of the complement system, ...
It was called ‘complement’ because it aided the antibacterial activity of antibodies. However, it is now known that the complement system can be activated early in an infection without the presence of ...
