A Critical Oversight in Immunology Research: The Prevalence of Complement Deficiencies in Mouse Models
The complement system is a crucial component of the innate immune response, playing a vital role in defending the body against pathogens and maintaining homeostasis. This complex network of proteins acts as a first line of defense, enhancing the ability of antibodies and phagocytic cells to clear microbes and damaged cells. It also participates in inflammation processes and leukocyte recruitment. However, findings regarding a common mutation in the complement component C5 in mouse strains have raised concerns about the validity of numerous studies in immunology, including infectious diseases, inflammatory, autoimmune disorders, and cancer research.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Immunology (EJI) is an official journal of EFIS. Established in 1971, EJI continues to serve the needs of the global immunology community covering basic, translational and clinical research, ranging from adaptive and innate immunity through to vaccines and immunotherapy, cancer, autoimmunity, allergy and more. Mechanistic insights and thought-provoking immunological findings are of interest, as are studies using the latest omics technologies. We offer fast track review for competitive situations, including recently scooped papers, format free submission, transparent and fair peer review and more as detailed in our policies.
