Three biochemical pathways activate the complement system: the classical complement pathway, the alternative complement pathway, and the lectin pathway. Most of the proteins and glycoproteins that ...

IgA vasculitis can present as a glomerulonephritis histologically indistinguishable from IgA nephropathy (IgAN). In IgAN, the alternative and lectin pathways mediate glomerular injury and contribute ...

The complement system is composed of three pathways: the classical pathway, the alternative pathway, and the lectin pathway (Figure 1). The classical pathway is typically activated by antibody.

Regarding the complement system, MASP-1 and -2 seem to be the major target of C1INH with less effective inhibition of the classical pathway ().Interestingly, the lectin pathway and in particular ...
