Figure Legend Snippet: iC3b:plasma protein complexes bind to red blood cells (RBCs). Isolated human RBCs were treated for 30 minutes at 37°C with either with sham-treated NHS or serum activated with CVF. Serum aliquots were removed before (pre-RBC Tx) and after (post-RBC Tx) RBC treatment. RBCs were lysed with H2O and the membrane fraction (pellet) was separated from the supernatant. All samples were separated using SDS-PAGE on an 8% gel and immunoblotted for C3.
Techniques Used: Clinical Proteomics, Isolation, Membrane, SDS Page
Figure Legend Snippet: Thermally denatured proteins activate the complement system via the alternative pathway. NHS was heated to 60°C for 1 hour (Δ serum) and then added to equal volume of either fresh NHS (lanes 2), factor B depleted serum (lanes 5), factor D depleted serum (lanes 6) or C3 depleted serum (lanes 7) and incubated for either 15 or 60 minutes at 37°C. The negative control was untreated NHS (lanes 1) or NHS that received equal amount of Δ serum in the presence of 10 mM EDTA (lanes 3) to prevent complement activation. The positive control was a mixture of Δ serum plus fresh serum treated with CVF (lanes 4) to activate the alternative pathway. Samples were separated using an 8% SDS-PAGE gel and blotted for factor B (alternative pathway activation and generation of the 33 kDa Ba fragment), C3 (110 kDa α-chain cleavage and 67 kDa iC3b generation) and α1PI (iC3b:α1PI complex formation).
Techniques Used: Incubation, Negative Control, Activation Assay, Positive Control, SDS Page
Figure Legend Snippet: C3 dependent complement activators generate C5a in thermally denatured serum. Untreated NHS (Control) or NHS plus 60°C heated serum (Δ Serum) were treated with either CVF, zymosan, HAGG or buffer (Sham) for 60 minutes at 37°C and C5a levels were quantified by ELISA.
Techniques Used: Control, Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay
