Identification of Factor H–like Protein 1 as the Predominant Complement Regulator in Bruch’s Membrane: Implications for Age-Related Macular Degeneration
11 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
The tight regulation of innate immunity on extracellular matrix (ECM) is a vital part of immune homeostasis throughout the human body, and disruption to this regulation in the eye is thought to contribute directly to the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The plasma complement regulator factor H (FH) is thought to be the main regulator that protects ECM against damaging complement activation....
