Murine systemic thrombophilia and hemolytic uremic syndrome from a factor H point mutation
5 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
Complement plays a key role in host defense, but its dysregulation can cause autologous tissue injury. Complement activation is normally controlled by regulatory proteins, including factor H (FH) in plasma and membrane cofactor protein (MCP) on the cell surface.
