• Complement activation is associated with poor outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest 

      Chaban, Viktoriia; Nakstad, Espen R.; Stær-Jensen, Henrik; Schjalm, Camilla; Seljeflot, Ingebjørg; Vaage, Ingvar Jarle; Lundqvist, Christofer; Saltyte Benth, Jurate; Sunde, Kjetil; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Andersen, Geir Øystein; Pischke, Soeren (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Background Cardiopulmonary resuscitation after cardiac arrest initiates a whole-body ischemia-reperfusion injury, which may activate the innate immune system, including the complement system. We hypothesized that complement ...
    • Complement ratios C3bc/C3 and sC5b-9/C5 do not increase the sensitivity of detecting acute complement activation systemically 

      Thomas, Anub Mathew; Chaban, Viktoriia; Pischke, Soeren; Orrem, Hilde Lang; Bosnes, Vidar; Sunde, Kjetil; Seljeflot, Ingebjørg; Lundqvist, Christofer; Nakstad, Espen Rostrup; Andersen, Geir Øystein; Schjalm, Camilla; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Barratt-Due, Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Background Complement activation plays an important pathogenic role in numerous diseases. The ratio between an activation product and its parent protein is suggested to be more sensitive to detect complement activation ...
    • Escherichia coli-induced inflammatory responses are temperature-dependent in human whole blood ex vivo 

      Chaban, Viktoriia; de Boer, Eline; Ekholt, Karin; Vaage, Ingvar Jarle; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Nilsson, Per; Pischke, Soeren; Islam, Rakibul (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
    • Synthetic Oligodeoxynucleotide CpG Motifs Activate Human Complement through Their Backbone Structure and Induce Complement-Dependent Cytokine Release 

      de Boer, Eline; Sokolova, Marina; Quach, Huy Quang; Mc Adam, Karin Ekholt; Götz, Maximilian P.; Chaban, Viktoriia; Vaage, Ingvar Jarle; Fageräng, Beatrice Linnea Christina; Woodruff, Trent M.; Garred, Peter; Nilsson, Per; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Pischke, Soeren (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Bacterial and mitochondrial DNA, sharing an evolutionary origin, act as danger-associated molecular patterns in infectious and sterile inflammation. They both contain immunomodulatory CpG motifs. Interactions between CpG ...
    • Systemic complement activation is associated with respiratory failure in COVID-19 hospitalized patients 

      Holter, Jan Cato; Pischke, Soeren; de Boer, Eline; Lind, Andreas; Jenum, Synne; Holten, Aleksander Rygh; Tonby, Kristian; Barratt-Due, Andreas; Sokolova, Marina; Schjalm, Camilla; Chaban, Viktoriia; Kolderup, Anette; Tran, Trung; Tollefsrud Gjølberg, Torleif; Skeie, Linda Gail; Hesstvedt, Liv; Ormåsen, Vidar; Fevang, Børre; Austad, Cathrine; Muller, Karl Erik; Fladeby, Cathrine; Holberg-Petersen, Mona; Halvorsen, Bente; Müller, Fredrik; Aukrust, Pål; Dudman, Susanne Gjeruldsen; Ueland, Thor; Andersen, Jan Terje; Lund-Johansen, Fridtjof; Heggelund, Lars; Dyrhol-Riise, Anne Ma; Mollnes, Tom Eirik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Respiratory failure in the acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic is hypothesized to be driven by an overreacting innate immune response, where the complement system is a key player. In this prospective ...
    • Systemic inflammation persists the first year after mild traumatic brain injury: Results from the Prospective Trondheim Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Study 

      Chaban, Viktoriia; Clarke, Gerard; Skandsen, Toril; Islam, Rakibul; Einarsen, Cathrine Elisabeth; Vik, Anne; Damås, Jan Kristian; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Håberg, Asta; Pischke, Soeren (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Innate immune activation has been attributed a key role in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and successive morbidity. In mild TBI (mTBI), however, the extent and persistence of innate immune activation are unknown. We determined ...
