In many cases as the tumor progresses, dramatic increases in complement inhibitory factors are found on these cells.
Compared to controls, on day one of the ARDS diagnosis there were increases in complement proteins, annexin A3, S100 protein, antiproteases, actin and extracellular matrix proteins in the BALF.

An increase in complement Factor H adsorption was observed at high shear region; however, no change in the complete complement activation was observed in the presence of shear stress as indicated by the protein S-terminal complement complex level.
The increase in complement activity under heat stress conditions is an unexpected result: generally stress brings about a decrease in complement activity (Boshra et al. 2006; Holland and Lambris 2002).
Here, we show that parameters involved in cellular stress response and immunity could be enhanced or depleted differently according to the levels of stress and the health status of the fish (e.g., a decrease in lysozyme activity and an increase in complement activity under stress challenge).
It is interesting to note, complement system activation has been reported to enhance AQP4 expression [ 22] and the observed increase in complement activation after blast exposure may play an important role in brain cytotoxic edema induced by AQP4.
Serum from patient 5 was positive for Mycoplasma pneumoniae immunoglobulin (Ig) M (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [ELISA]) antibody with a fourfold increase in complement fixation (CF) antibody titer in acute- (<1 40) and convalescent-phase sera (1 160).
In contrast to the expected high correlation between MBL levels at admission and after 3 months, this correlation cannot be explained by genetic factors but may indicate an ongoing increase in complement activation in patients with diabetes and ischemic heart disease.
Furthermore, we show that increased levels of HLA-I/II bound by HLAI/II-Ab on the surface of the cell lead to a concomitant increase in complement activation, consistent with other reports suggesting that complement fixing capacity is a function of antibody titer in serum (72).
These results are consistent with the improvement noted in the immunological domain (decrease in anti-dsDNA autoantibodies, or increase in complement 3 or 4 levels), as well as the reductions in other autoantibodies, or selected B-cell and plasma cell subsets observed in the BLISS trials.
Similar to these findings, a post-hoc analysis of the EXPLORER trial focusing on the biological effects of rituximab revealed a significant reduction in the levels of anti-dsDNA and anti-cardiolipin antibodies and a significant increase in complement levels and serum BAFF in the rituximab-treated group versus placebo.
