Product details
The Human Complement H Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit (ab213765) is designed for the quantitative measurement Human Complement H/CFH in cell culture supernatants, serum, plasma (heparin, EDTA) and urine.
The kit is based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for Complement H/CFH has been pre-coated onto 96-well plates. Standards and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for Complement H/CFH is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB is used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the Human Complement H/CFH amount of sample captured in plate.
Complement factor H (CFH), originally known as beta-1H globulin, is a serum glycoprotein that regulates the function of the alternative complement pathway in fluid phase and on cellular surfaces. It binds to C3b, accelerates the decay of the alternative pathway convertase C3bBb, and also acts as a cofactor for complement factor I, another C3b inhibitor. The CFH gene is located on chromosome 1q32-q32.1 within a cluster of genes encoding the regulatory complement components of the activation of C3 (RCA for 'regulators of complement activation'). This gene cluster includes decay accelerating factor (DAF), C4-binding protein (C4BPA and C4BPB), and the factor H-related genes CFHR1, CFHR2, CFHR3, CFHR4, and CFHR5, among others. The gene family has arisen by multiple duplication events.

Biological function summary
Factor H limits the activity of the complement system to prevent damage to host tissues. The protein exists in the plasma in a soluble form. It functions by recognizing host cell surfaces via specific markers avoiding inappropriate activation. Factor H belongs to a group of proteins which include other regulators of complement activation. These proteins maintain the balance between effective immune defense and protection of host tissue from excessive immune responses.
Pathways
Factor H is a part of the alternative complement pathway. This pathway is important for innate immune response involving proteins like factor P (properdin) which stabilizes C3 convertase. Factor H modulates these interactions to prevent unwarranted complement activity on host cells. Another related pathway is the classic complement pathway although factor H's involvement here is less direct since it primarily regulates the alternative pathway.
