C8G and Alzheimer disease: Our proteome data showed that the proteins negatively correlated with MMSE scores had strong enrichment in the complement activation pathway, suggesting a strong complement inflammatory response in the peripheral system; however, only slight increase of the complement activation pathway proteins (SERPINA1, C4BPA, C8A, C8G, SERPINF2, C1S, and C4BPB) were detected in MCI and AD patients.
