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 ...

The C-terminus of factor H: monoclonal antibodies inhibit heparin binding and identify epitopes common to factor H and factor H-related proteins [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1998
We have generated monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) specific for the C-terminus of factor H that can be used as inhibitory antibodies for heparin binding and for the specific detection of factor H and factor H-related proteins (FHRs) in plasma and triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins.

Factor H deficiency and fibrillary glomerulopathy [PDF]

Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2004
A 12-month-old boy presented to a local hospital with periorbital oedema and microscopic haematuria. He was pale and hypertensive and had low serum complement C3. He was treated for and followed with the diagnosis of acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. The patient’s parents were second-degree relatives of each other, but his family history was

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

Exploration 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.

PLoS 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).

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

Nefrología (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

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

Frontiers 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.

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

Stem 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

Sometimes the impact factor outshines the H index

Retrovirology, 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.
