The Murine Factor H-Related Protein FHR-B Promotes Complement Activation [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Factor H-related (FHR) proteins consist of varying number of complement control protein domains that display various degrees of sequence identity to respective domains of the alternative pathway complement inhibitor factor H (FH). While such FHR proteins are described in several species, only human FHRs were functionally investigated.

Functional and structural characterization of mouse Factor H-related B protein unveils a novel dimerization domain shared by FHR-B and FH

Frontiers in Immunology
Factor H-related proteins (FHRs) are found in mice, but their equivalence to human FHRs remains uncertain. This study identifies three FHRs in mouse plasma (FHR-B, FHR-C, and FHR-E) and focuses on characterizing FHR-B.

Identification and functional characterisation of Complement Regulator Acquiring Surface Protein-1 of serum resistant Borrelia garinii OspA serotype 4 [PDF]

, 2010
Background: B. burgdorferi sensu lato (sl) is the etiological agent of Lyme borreliosis in humans. Spirochetes have adapted themselves to the human immune system in many distinct ways.

Recurrence of Complement Factor H-Related Protein 5 Nephropathy in a Renal Transplant [PDF]

American Journal of Transplantation, 2011
Complement factor H-related protein 5 (CFHR5) nephropathy is a familial renal disease endemic in Cyprus. It is characterized by persistent microscopic hematuria, synpharyngitic macroscopic hematuria and progressive renal impairment. Isolated glomerular accumulation of complement component 3 (C3) is typical with variable degrees of glomerular ...

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.

Competition between antagonistic complement factors for a single protein on N. meningitidis rules disease susceptibility

eLife, 2014
Genome-wide association studies have found variation within the complement factor H gene family links to host susceptibility to meningococcal disease caused by infection with Neisseria meningitidis (Davila et al., 2010).

Evidence‐Based Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Pediatric Febrile Neutropenia: Resource‐Sensitive Recommendations for the Asian Continent

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a frequent and serious complication in children receiving cancer therapy. Standardizing FN management across Asia is challenging due to variable healthcare infrastructure, diagnostic capacity, and infection patterns; however, it could improve resource use and patient outcomes.

Factor H-related protein 1 neutralizes anti-factor H autoantibodies in autoimmune hemolytic uremic syndrome. [PDF]

, 2011
The autoimmune form of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is characterized by circulating autoantibodies against the complement regulator factor H, and is often associated with deficiency of the factor H-related proteins CFHR1 and CFHR3.
