Complement component 3c and tumor necrosis factor-α systemic assessment after Candida antigen immunotherapy in cutaneous warts

Abstract: Background Cutaneous warts are the commonest benign lesion produced by human papillomavirus. Lesions often regress spontaneously yet have a high rate of recurrence. They impair patients' quality of life and carry the potential risk of cancer. Nowadays, Candida antigen immunotherapy has become an encouraging therapeutic modality for warts. We tried to assess the role of the complement pathway and T helper 1 immune response in clinical response to Candida antigen immunotherapy via complement component 3c (C3c) a… Show more

“…Also, Candida cell wall components may bind to toll-like receptors (TLRs), primarily TLR-2 and TLR-4, inducing the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and type I IFNs that eliminate viral infections [ 18 ]. Furthermore, it has the potential to activate the complement system, resulting in chemotaxis of various inflammatory cells and direct destruction of virally infected cells via a membrane attack complex [ 19 ].…”

“…Patients received injections at two-week intervals until the complete elimination of their warts or until a maximum of six sessions had been completed. The evaluation of the therapeutic response depended on the contraction in the size and reduction in the number of warts [28]. The response was considered complete if there was a 100% clearance of warts, partial if there was a 50-99% reduction in wart size, and no response if there was less than a 50% reduction in wart size.…”
