Mechanism of Borrelia immune evasion by FhbA-related proteins.

PLoS Pathogens, 2022
Immune evasion facilitates survival of Borrelia, leading to infections like relapsing fever and Lyme disease. Important mechanism for complement evasion is acquisition of the main host complement inhibitor, factor H (FH). By determining the 2.2 Å crystal

Self-Damage Caused by Dysregulation of the Complement Alternative Pathway: Relevance of the Factor H Protein Family

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The alternative pathway is a continuously active surveillance arm of the complement system, and it can also enhance complement activation initiated by the classical and the lectin pathways.

C-Reactive Protein As a Mediator of Complement Activation and Inflammatory Signaling in Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease affecting millions worldwide. Complement activation, inflammation, and the loss of choroidal endothelial cells have been established as key factors in both normal aging and

C-reactive protein-complement factor H axis as a biomarker of activity in early and intermediate age-related macular degeneration

Frontiers in Immunology
PurposeTo determine and compare the serum levels of complement Factor H (FH), monomeric C-Reactive Protein (mCRP) and pentameric C-Reactive protein (pCRP) in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and to correlate them with clinical ...

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.

Complement Factor H and Complement Factor H-Related Protein 5 Mutations Associated with Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome in a Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patient: Efficacy of Eculizumab

Turkish Journal of Nephrology, 2019
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a disorder characterized by a propensity to thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) due to defective regulation of the alternative complement pathway.
