Each of the Three Binding Sites on Complement Factor H Interacts with a Distinct Site on C3b

Abstract excerpt

Factor H (fH) restricts activation of the alternative pathway of complement at the level of C3, both in the fluid phase and on self-structures, but allows the activation to proceed on foreign structures. To study the interactions between fH and C3b we used surface plasmon resonance analysis (Biacore(R)) and eight recombinantly expressed fH constructs containing fragments of the 20 short consensus repeat domains...
