C1q induction and global complement pathway activation do not contribute to ALS toxicity in mutant SOD1 mice
29 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
Accumulating evidence from mice expressing ALS-causing mutations in superoxide dismutase (SOD1) has implicated pathological immune responses in motor neuron degeneration. This includes microglial activation, lymphocyte infiltration, and the induction of C1q, the initiating component of the classic complement system that is the protein-based arm of the innate immune response, in motor neurons of multiple ALS mouse...
