Complement Factor H Family Proteins Modulate Monocyte and Neutrophil Granulocyte Functions
Besides being a key effector arm of innate immunity, a plethora of non-canonical functions of complement has recently been emerging. Factor H (FH), the main regulator of the alternative pathway of complement activation, has been reported to bind to ...

Complement factor H and the hemolytic uremic syndrome [PDF]
Immune recognition is coupled to powerful proinflammatory effector pathways that must be tightly regulated. The ancient alternative pathway of complement activation is one such proinflammatory pathway.

FHR-1 binds to C-reactive protein and enhances rather than inhibits complement activation [PDF]
Factor H (FH)-related protein 1 (FHR-1) is one of the five human factor H-related proteins, which share sequence and structural homology with the alternative pathway complement inhibitor FH.

Anesthetic management of living donor liver transplantation for complement factor H deficiency hemolytic uremic syndrome: a case report [PDF]
We experienced a living donor liver transplantation for a 26-month-old girl with complement factor H deficiency. Complement factor H is a plasma protein that regulates the activity of the complement pathway.

Treatment with human complement factor H rapidly reverses renal complement deposition in factor H-deficient mice [PDF]
Total deficiency of complement factor H (CFH) is associated with dense deposit disease and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. CFH is the major regulator of the alternative pathway of complement activation and its complete deficiency results in uncontrolled C3 activation through this pathway and secondary C3 deficiency.

Is Complement Factor H Tyr402His Variant a Potential Cause of Ankylosing Spondylitis?
Aim:Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an autoimmune disease caused by chronic inflammatory response. Complement system is the major component of the innate immune defence. In this study, we investigated the potential association between complement factor H (

The alternative pathway (AP) of complement is constantly active in plasma and can easily be activated on self surfaces and trigger local inflammation. Host cells are protected from AP attack by Factor H (FH), the main AP regulator in plasma.

Planar posets have dimension at most linear in their height
We prove that every planar poset $P$ of height $h$ has dimension at most $192h + 96$. This improves on previous exponential bounds and is best possible up to a constant factor.
