In humoral innate immune response, the complement system is a central player. It attacks immediately microbes and foreign particles invading the human body. It is constantly active in plasma and can easily be activated on self surfaces and thereby trigger local inflammation if efficient regulators are missing. Complement factor H (CFH) is one of the main complement regulators in plasma and it has been recently shown to interact with apolipoprotein E, a multifunctional protein mostly associated with lipid metabolism thereby reducing complement activation in plasma. This Bachelor thesis project was initiated to learn more about the mechanism of binding between Complement factor H (CFH) and apolipoprotein E (apoE). The experiments were perfo...
