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.

Sweeteners for factor H [PDF]

Blood, 2016
In this issue of Blood , [Hyvarinen et al][1][1][2] show that mutant forms of complement factor H, which are commonly associated with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), have impairments in binding to sialic acid on C3b-coated erythrocytes, platelets, and endothelial cells.

Anti-factor H antibody and its role in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) an important form of a thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) that can frequently lead to acute kidney injury (AKI). An important subset of aHUS is the anti-factor H associated aHUS.

The effect of human factor H on immunogenicity of meningococcal native outer membrane vesicle vaccines with over-expressed factor H binding protein. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2012
The binding of human complement inhibitors to vaccine antigens in vivo could diminish their immunogenicity. A meningococcal ligand for the complement down-regulator, factor H (fH), is fH-binding protein (fHbp), which is specific for human fH.

Association of genetic variants in complement factor H and factor H-related genes with systemic lupus erythematosus susceptibility. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2011
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a complex polygenic autoimmune disease, is associated with increased complement activation. Variants of genes encoding complement regulator factor H (CFH) and five CFH-related proteins (CFHR1-CFHR5) within the ...

Complement factor H in host defense and immune evasion

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2016
Complement is the major humoral component of the innate immune system. It recognizes pathogen- and damage-associated molecular patterns, and initiates the immune response in coordination with innate and adaptive immunity.

Complement Factor H-Related Protein 4A Is the Dominant Circulating Splice Variant of CFHR4

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Recent research has elucidated circulating levels of almost all factor H-related (FHR) proteins. Some of these proteins are hypothesized to act as antagonists of the important complement regulator factor H (FH), fine-tuning complement regulation on human

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

Frontiers 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.

Rainbow $H$-factors [PDF]

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.

Complement factors (H) into thrombosis [PDF]

Blood, 2017
In this issue of Blood, Ueda et al demonstrate that a mutation in factor H (FH) disrupts host cell interactions, leading to dysregulation of complement, systemic thrombotic angiopathy, and hemolytic uremic syndrome ...
