Anti factor H autoantibodies block C-terminal recognition function of factor H in hemolytic uremic syndrome [PDF]

, 2007
The atypical form of the kidney disease hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is associated with defective complement regulation. In addition to mutations in complement regulators, factor H (FH)-specific autoantibodies have been reported for aHUS patients ...

The human factor H protein family – an update

Frontiers in Immunology
Complement is an ancient and complex network of the immune system and, as such, it plays vital physiological roles, but it is also involved in numerous pathological processes.

The Borrelia afzelii outer membrane protein BAPKO_0422 binds human Factor-H and is predicted to form a membrane-spanning beta-barrel [PDF]

, 2015
The deep evolutionary history of the Spirochetes places their branch point early in the evolution of the diderms, before the divergence of the present day Proteobacteria.

Autoantibodies Against Factor B and Factor H Without Pathogenic Effects in a Patient with Immune Complex-Mediated Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis

Biomedicines
Background: Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is an umbrella term for chronic disorders affecting the glomeruli. MPGN is often accompanied by the presence of autoantibodies against complement components.

Complement depletion during haemofiltration with polyacrilonitrile membranes [PDF]

, 2017
Background Polyacrylonitrile (PAN, AN69®) dialysis membranes have been shown to improve the outcome of critically ill patients. Factor D is an essential enzyme of the alternative pathway of complement and is increased during renal failure.

First-line therapy in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome: consideration on infants with a poor prognosis. [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundAtypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare and heterogeneous disorder. The first line treatment of aHUS is plasma therapy, but in the past few years, the recommendations have changed greatly with the advent of eculizumab, a humanized ...

The Role of von Willebrand Factor in the Pathogenesis of C3 Glomerulopathy

Kidney International Reports
Introduction: C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is caused by dysregulation of complement activation. Our previous study found that patients with C3G showed rare variants in von Willebrand factor (vWF).

Complement Factor H-Related Protein 4A Is the Dominant Circulating Splice Variant of CFHR4

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Recent research has elucidated circulating levels of almost all factor H-related (FHR) proteins. Some of these proteins are hypothesized to act as antagonists of the important complement regulator factor H (FH), fine-tuning complement regulation on human
