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 (

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Interaction of complement factor h and fibulin3 in age-related macular degeneration. [PDF]
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of vision loss. It is associated with development of characteristic plaque-like deposits (soft drusen) in Bruch's membrane basal to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).

Mouse Podocyte Complement Factor H [PDF]
Complement factor H (Cfh) is a key plasma protein in humans and animals that serves to limit alternative pathway complement activation in plasma, as well as in local sites such as capillaries of the glomerulus and eye. It was shown that rodent Cfh on platelets is the functional analogue to human erythrocyte complement receptor 1 with a role that is ...
