A novel anticonvulsant mechanism via inhibition of complement receptor C5ar1 in murine epilepsy models

The role of complement system-mediated inflammation is of key interest in seizure and epilepsy pathophysiology, but its therapeutic potential has not yet been explored. We observed that the pro-inflammatory C5a receptor, C5ar1, is upregulated in two mouse models after status epilepticus; the pilocar...
