TARGETING COMPLEMENT FACTOR H FOR TREATMENT OF DISEASES BY THE SUE OF CR2-FH MOLECULES CR2-FH H

摘要

The invention provides a CR2-FH molecule comprising a CR2 portion comprising CR2 protein or a fragment thereof and a FH portion comprising a factor H protein or a fragment thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising a CR2-FH molecule. Also provided are methods of using the compositions for treatment diseases in which the alternative complement pathway is implicated, such as age-related macular degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, and ischemia reperfusion.
