Serum FHR1 binding to necrotic-type cells activates monocytic inflammasome and marks necrotic sites in vasculopathies

FHR1 is a serum protein implicated in complement regulation. Here the authors show that human FHR1 binds to necrotic cells, triggering inflammasome activation in monocytes in culture, localizes to necrotic tissue and correlates with inflammatory cytokine levels in vasculopathies.
