Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is associated with dysregulation of the alternative pathway (AP) of complement and treatment options remain inadequate. Factor H (FH) is a potent regulator of the AP.

The interaction between factor H and Von Willebrand factor. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Complement factor H (fH) is a plasma protein that regulates activation of the alternative pathway, and mutations in fH are associated with a rare form of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), known as atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS).

Hijacking Factor H for Complement Immune Evasion
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 The complement system is an essential player in innate and adaptive immunity. It consists of three pathways (alternative, classical, and lectin) that initiate either spontaneously (alternative) or in response to danger (all pathways). Complement leads to

Deregulation of Factor H by Factor H-Related Protein 1 Depends on Sialylation of Host Surfaces
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 To discriminate between self and non-self surfaces and facilitate immune surveillance, the complement system relies on the interplay between surface-directed activators and regulators.

A Family Affair: Addressing the Challenges of Factor H and the Related Proteins
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Inflammation is a common denominator of diseases. The complement system, an intrinsic part of the innate immune system, is a key driver of inflammation in numerous disorders.

OncoImmunology, 2020 Macrophages are a major immune cell type in the tumor microenvironment, where they display a tumor-supporting phenotype. Factor H (FH) is a complement inhibitor that also plays a role in several cellular functions.

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2020 Bacteria produce surface ligands for host complement regulators including Factor H (FH), which allows the bacteria to evade immunity. Meningococcal Factor H binding protein (FHbp) is both a virulence factor and a vaccine antigen.

Factor H Autoantibodies and Complement-Mediated Diseases
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Factor H (FH), a member of the regulators-of-complement-activation (RCA) family of proteins, circulates in human plasma at concentrations of 180–420 mg/L where it controls the alternative pathway (AP) of complement in the fluid phase and on cell surfaces.

The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2006 An $H$-factor of a graph $G$ is a spanning subgraph of $G$ whose connected components are isomorphic to $H$. Given a properly edge-colored graph $G$, a rainbow $H$-subgraph of $G$ is an $H$-subgraph of $G$ whose edges have distinct colors. A rainbow $H$-factor is an $H$-factor whose components are rainbow $H$-subgraphs.

C3 Glomerulonephritis associated with Anti-complement Factor H Autoantibodies in an Adolescent Male: A Case Report [PDF]
Childhood Kidney Diseases, 2021 C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN), a rare condition associated with dysregulation of the alternative pathway of the complement system, is histopathologically characterized by isolated or dominant C3 deposition in the renal glomeruli.
