Murine Factor H Co-Produced in Yeast With Protein Disulfide Isomerase Ameliorated C3 Dysregulation in Factor H-Deficient Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Recombinant human factor H (hFH) has potential for treating diseases linked to aberrant complement regulation including C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and dry age-related macular degeneration.

Reference Intervals of Factor H and Factor H-Related Proteins in Healthy Children

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Complement is activated as part of the innate immune defense against invading pathogens. Also, it helps to remove apoptotic debris and immune complexes from the circulation.

Contribution of functional and quantitative genetic variants of Complement Factor H and Factor H-Related (FHR) proteins on renal pathology

open access: yesNefrología (English Edition), 2022
The complement system is a first line of defence against infectious, tumoral or autoimmune processes, and it is constitutively regulated to avoid excessive or unspecific activation. Factor H (FH), a most relevant complement regulator, controls complement

Dengue virus infection induces complement factor H but protein remains cell-associated, with changes intracellularly and in cell surface binding

open access: yesExploration of Immunology
Aim: Severe dengue is correlated with a decrease in the circulating complement regulator, factor H (FH) and prior work has shown that dengue virus (DENV) infection induces FH mRNA but not FH protein release.

Two human antibodies to a meningococcal serogroup B vaccine antigen enhance binding of complement Factor H by stabilizing the Factor H binding site.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2021
Microbial pathogens bind host complement regulatory proteins to evade the immune system. The bacterial pathogen Neisseria meningitidis, or meningococcus, binds several complement regulators, including human Factor H (FH).

Levels of soluble complement regulators predict severity of COVID-19 symptoms

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
The SARS-CoV-2 virus continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide from COVID-19. One of the major challenges of patient management is the broad range of symptoms observed.

Selective Binding of Heparin/Heparan Sulfate Oligosaccharides to Factor H and Factor H-Related Proteins: Therapeutic Potential for C3 Glomerulopathies

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Complement dysregulation is characteristic of the renal diseases atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) and complement component 3 glomerulopathy (C3G).

Sometimes the impact factor outshines the H index

open access: yesRetrovirology, 2008
Journal impact factor (which reflects a particular journal's quality) and H index (which reflects the number and quality of an author's publications) are two measures of research quality.

Amnion epithelial cells are an effective source of factor H and prevent kidney complement deposition in factor H-deficient mice

open access: yesStem Cell Research & Therapy, 2021
Complement factor H (FH) is the main plasma regulator of the alternative pathway of complement. Genetic and acquired abnormalities in FH cause uncontrolled complement activation amplifying, with the consequent accumulation of complement components on the

Personalizing the Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Fellowship: Adapting Training for the Next Generation

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pediatric hematology‐oncology fellowship training curriculum has not substantially changed since its inception. The first year of training is clinically focused, and the second and third years are devoted to scholarship. However, this current structure leaves many fellows less competitive in the current job market, resulting in ...
