Analysis of human factor H-related gene and protein expressed in rheumatoid arthritis synovium identifies a novel mechanism promoting dysregulated complement pathway activation

Abstract Factor H (FH) is a negative regulator of the alternative pathway (AP) of complement however, five human factor H-related (FHR) proteins, can also function ex vivo as positive regulators. We compare bulk FH and FHR mRNA expressions in both the human rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovium and blo...
