Affinity purification of human factor H on polypeptides derived from streptococcal m protein: enrichment of the Y402 variant. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Recent studies indicate that defective activity of complement factor H (FH) is associated with several human diseases, suggesting that pure FH may be used for therapy.

Complement inhibitor factor H expressed by breast cancer cells differentiates CD14+ human monocytes into immunosuppressive macrophages

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.

A Sensitivity Study of the Enceladus Torus [PDF]

, 2009
We have developed a homogeneous model of physical chemistry to investigate the neutral-dominated, water-based Enceladus torus. Electrons are treated as the summation of two isotropic Maxwellian distributions$-$a thermal component and a hot component. The

Holographic analysis of diffraction structure factors

, 2002
We combine the theory of inside-source/inside-detector x-ray fluorescence holography and Kossel lines/x ray standing waves in kinematic approximation to directly obtain the phases of the diffraction structure factors.

Tuning the Functionality by Splicing: Factor H and Its Alternative Splice Variant FHL-1 Share a Gene but Not All Functions

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
The alternative pathway regulator Factor H-like protein 1 (FHL-1) is composed of the first 7 N-terminal complement control protein domains of Factor H (FH) and protects host surfaces from uncontrolled complement attack.

Electrically tunable g-factors in quantum dot molecular spin states

, 2006
We present a magneto-photoluminescence study of individual vertically stacked InAs/GaAs quantum dot pairs separated by thin tunnel barriers. As an applied electric field tunes the relative energies of the two dots, we observe a strong resonant increase ...

Earthquake statistics and fractal faults

, 1996
We introduce a Self-affine Asperity Model (SAM) for the seismicity that mimics the fault friction by means of two fractional Brownian profiles (fBm) that slide one over the other.

Novel immunochromatographic test for rapid detection of anti-factor H autoantibodies with an assessment of its clinical relevance

Frontiers in Immunology
Factor H (FH) is a crucial complement regulator that prevents complement-mediated injury to healthy cells and tissues. This regulatory function can be disrupted by Factor H autoantibodies (FHAA), which then leads to diseases such as atypical hemolytic ...

Role of factor H-related protein 3 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa bloodstream infections

Frontiers in Immunology
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of nosocomial bloodstream infections. The outcome of these infections depends on the virulence of the microorganism as well as host-related conditions and factors.

Renormalized One-loop Theory of Correlations in Disordered Diblock Copolymers

, 2011
A renormalized one-loop theory (ROL) is used to calculate corrections to the random phase approximation (RPA) for the structure factor $\Sc(q)$ in disordered diblock copolymer melts.
