The complement system is an important component of the immune system.Under pathological conditions,the complement system may be activated.The biologically active products of the complement system may induce important functional responses of Endothelial cells (EC).Activation and injury of EC plays an important role in a wide variety of diseases.

Several groups of proteins from snake venoms have a three-finger folding (60-75 amino-acid residues,4-5 disulfide bridges) and have different activities : α-and κ-neurotoxins are blocking nicotinic ac
The 973 Program,also known as the National Basic Research Program,was initiated in March,1997,by the Chinese government to develop basic research aligned with national priorities in economic and socia
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are the main targets of three-finger alpha-neurotoxins from Elapidae snakes.We have found recently that snake toxins of other structural types can block nACh
Most lymphocytes in psoriatic lesions are effector memory T (TEM) cells that express high levels of Kv1.3,a subtype of voltage-gated potassium channel.Kv1.3 is an important mediator of TEM activation,
Scorpion venoms have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years in China,India and Africa.The scorpion venom is a highly complex mixture of salts,nucleotides,biogenic amines,enzymes,muco
Kv1.3 channel is a delayed rectifier channel abundant in human T lymphocytes.Chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disorders lead to the over-expression of Kv1.3 in T cells.To quantitatively study the r

Peptide toxins have enormous potential as therapeutic leads.Here I describe the progress of analogues based on one such toxin,ShK,to clinical trials for autoimmune diseases.Effector memory T cells,whi
Two 57-residue peptides containing four disulfide bonds were recently isolated from black mamba venom (Dendroaspis polylepis polylepis) using a screen to discover novel acid-sensing ion channel (ASIC)
