Factor H and Properdin Recognize Different Epitopes on Renal Tubular Epithelial Heparan Sulfate

During proteinuria, renal tubular epithelial cells become exposed to ultrafiltrate-derived serum proteins, including complement factors. Recently, we showed that properdin binds to tubular heparan sulfates (HS). We now document that factor H also binds to tubular HS, although to a different epitope...
