A general method for affinity purification of complement component C3b using factor H-sepharose.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Complement component C3b has been purified from human, rabbit and bovine serum by affinity chromatography on human factor H-Sepharose after preliminary fractionation by poly(ethylene glycol) and DEAE-Sepharose. The yields are high (35--40%) and the whole process is rapid (3 days). Binding of C3b to factor H-Sepharose is equimolar, has a sharp optimum pH at 7.6 and is quite sensitive to ionic strength.

Effect of complement-protein-C3b density on the binding of complement factor H to surface-bound C3b.
Various amounts of the activation fragment C3b of the complement (C) protein C3 were coupled to Sepharose 4B by catalysis with the C3 convertase of the alternative pathway of C. The binding of radioactively labelled C proteins B and H (= factor H) to the C3b-carrying particles was assayed. It was found that the relative binding of H, but not of B, fell rapidly with decreasing densities of solid...
متن کاملPreparation of Plasminogen by Affinity Chromatography
Background: Plasminogen is one of the compounds derived from human plasma. Activation of plasminogen produces plasmin. Plasmin is able to lyse fibrinogen, fibrin, and some other human plasma proteins. The aim of the present work was to study the separation of human plasminogen by affinity chromatography using gel lysine Sepharose. Materials and Methods: Normal human plasma was used as the...
متن کاملHuman complement C3b inactivator: isolation, characterization, and demonstration of an absolute requirement for the serum protein beta1H for cleavage of C3b and C4b in solution
The complement regulatory enzyme, C3b inactivator (C3bINA), has been purified from human serum by affinity chromatography on an anti-C3bINA Sepharose column. Subsequent chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and removal of IgG with anti-IgG Sepharose resulted in a product which was found to be homogeneous by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH 8.9 and by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel...
متن کاملIdentification as Complement Component C3b Cells Secreted by Mouse Hepatic Sinusoidal Endothelial Cells: A Paracrine Migration-stimulating Factor for Metastatic Tumor
Selective malignant cell invasion at secondary sites mediated by organspecific (paracrine) motility factors may be of importance in preferential organ colonization of metastatic cells. In this study we isolated and exam ined a migration-stimulating activity present in mouse hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cell-conditioned medium (HSE-CM). HSE-CM contains mi gration-stimulating activity for highl...
متن کاملInteraction of vaccinia virus complement control protein with human complement proteins: factor I-mediated degradation of C3b to iC3b1 inactivates the alternative complement pathway.
Vaccinia virus complement control protein (VCP) is a virulence determinant of vaccinia virus that helps protect the virus from the complement attack of the host. To characterize the interaction of VCP with C3 and C4 and understand the mechanism by which VCP inactivates complement, we have expressed VCP in a yeast expression system and compared the biologic activity of the purified protein to th...
