Deficient alternative complement pathway activation due to factor D deficiency by 2 novel mutations in the complement factor D gene in a family with meningococcal infections [PDF]
The complement system is an essential element in our innate defense against infections with Neisseria meningitidis. We describe 2 cases of meningococcal septic shock, 1 of them fatal, in 2 children of a Turkish family. In the surviving patient, alternative pathway activation was absent and factor D plasma concentrations were undetectable ...

Isolation of a carp complement protein homologous to mammalian factor D
Molecular Immunology, 1994Factor D of carp (Cyprinus carpio) complement was purified to apparent homogeneity by a 4-step chromatographic procedure and examined for physicochemical and functional properties. Carp factor D proved to be an alpha-globulin with a molecular mass of 29 kDa and the serum concentration was estimated to be 6 micrograms/ml.

Specific interactions of polystyrene biomaterials with factor D of human complement
Biomaterials, 1993The contact of blood with some biomaterials results in complement activation, primarily by the alternative pathway (AP). Insoluble polystyrene derivatives bearing isolated sulphonate groups (PSSO3) deplete complement, whereas identical surfaces substituted with both sulphonate and hydroxymethyl groups (PSCH2OH-SO3) are non-activators.

Factor D of the alternative pathway of bovine complement: Isolation and characterization
Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 1984Factor D of the bovine alternative complement pathway has been purified by chromatography on CM-Sephadex C-50, Sephacryl S-200 and hydroxylapatite. The isolated factor D (0.25 mg from 1 litre of bovine serum) had an apparent molecular weight of 27,500 and a pI of 7.2. In whole bovine serum the pI of factor D was also 7.2.
