Complement factor H

Bladder tumor-associated antigen (BTA), a human complement factor H, is produced by bladder cancer cells (men two to three times as often as women). Cancer cells are sometimes seen in urine samples by microscope cytoscopy (examination of the bladder with an instrument inserted into the urethra), which can reveal abnormal areas. Biopsy is needed to confirm the diagnosis. Early stage cancer confined to the bladder wall can often be removed with a cytoscope. If several tumors are present, they are removed by infusing the bladder with a solution containing bacteria able to stimulate the immune system. [Pg.196]

Complement Factor H (CFH) or simply Factor H is one of the main inhibitors of the alternative complement pathway and acts both in plasma and on cell surfaces by binding C3b. Binding of CHF to malondialdehyde (MDA) epitopes was demonstrated for necrotic and apoptotic cells as well as for apoptotic blebs. CFH-MDA-adduct complexes bind to C3b and generate locally the anti-inflanunatory iC3b fragment. CHF binding of MDA-adducts can inhibit IL-8 and TNFa production. ... [Pg.156]
