  Hypoxia and B cells 

  Burrows, N; Maxwell, PH (Elsevier, 2017-02-27)

  The ability of cells to sense and adapt to changes in oxygen is mediated by hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF). Immune cells function in physiologically complex and varying environments whereby oxygen, pH, nutrients, metabolites ...

  Complement C1q is hydroxylated by collagen prolyl 4 hydroxylase and is sensitive to off-target inhibition by prolyl hydroxylase domain inhibitors that stabilize hypoxia-inducible factor 

  Kiriakidis, S; Hoer, SS; Burrows, N; Biddlecome, G; Khan, MN; Thinnes, CC; Schofield, CJRogers, NBotto, MPaleolog, EMaxwell, PH et al.

  Complement C1q is part of the C1 macromolecular complex that mediates the classical complement activation pathway: a major arm of innate immune defense. C1q is composed of A, B, and C chains that require post-translational ...
