Complement factor H (CFH) codes for 20 complement-control protein modules (CCPs 1–20). It is expressed in the liver, mesangial cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts. It is a membrane cofactor protein. The CFH gene is localized on human chromosome 1q31.3.
Complement factor H (CFH) is a negative regulator of the alternative pathway. It suppresses spontaneous complement activation and its response on self surfaces. CFH possesses decay-accelerating activity and destabilizes the C3b amplification in the alternate complement pathway. It also has a role in C3b cleavage by its cofactor activity. The protein has been linked to various diseases like age-related macular degeneration, kidney disorder and C3 glomerulopathy. CFH might prevent complement activation in ischemic renal injury by binding to tubular epithelial cells.

Leptospira, a zoonotic pathogen, is known to infect various hosts and can establish persistent infection. This remarkable ability of bacteria is attributed to its potential to modulate (activate or evade) the host immune response by exploiting its surface proteins. We
