Disease-linked mutations in factor H reveal pivotal role of cofactor activity in self-surface–selective regulation of complement activation

Spontaneous activation enables the complement system to respond very rapidly to diverse threats. This activation is efficiently suppressed by complement factor H (CFH) on self-surfaces but not on foreign surfaces. The surface selectivity of CFH, a soluble protein containing 20 complement-control pro...
