    Abstract

    The invention relates to identifying agents which have the ability to preferentially inhibit binding to targets such as heparin of the H384 allotypic variant of human complement Factor H, the allotypic variant associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and the non-disease associated form of the same factor (Y384). The targets of interest show differential binding of the two allotypic variants and antagonists thus identified are of interest in developing treatments for AMD.
