    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Immune complex (IC) aggregation is modulated by complement system activation.
    • Understanding the early stages of complement-mediated IC reactions is crucial for immune response insights.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the role of classical pathway (CP) complement components in immune complex aggregation.
    • To elucidate the distinct functions of C1q and macromolecular C1 in modulating IC aggregation.

    Main Methods:

    • Turbidimetric analysis of IC aggregation kinetics.
    • Functional blockade of complement components using monospecific Fab' or Fab fragments.
    • Studies with purified complement proteins and components.

    Main Results:

    • C1q, both in serum and purified form, enhanced IC aggregation.
    • Macromolecular C1 inhibited IC aggregation, an effect reversed by C-1 inhibitor (C-1 INH).
    • C3 significantly supported inhibition, while C5-C9 had no detectable turbidimetric influence.

    Conclusions:

    • The classical pathway of complement exhibits distinct regulatory roles in IC aggregation.
    • C1q and macromolecular C1 have opposing effects on IC aggregation.
    • C3 plays a significant role in complement-mediated inhibition of IC aggregation.
