Abstract excerpt
The factor H-related protein family (CFHR) is a group of minor plasma proteins genetically and structurally related to complement factor H (fH). Notably, deficiency of CFHR1/CFHR3 associates with protection against age-related macular degeneration and with the presence of anti-fH autoantibodies in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). We have developed a proteomics strategy to analyze the CFHR proteins in...
