| Title | Isolation and purification of C3 from human plasma. | | Author(s) | O'Rear LD, Ross GD | | Institution | University of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky, USA. | | Source | Curr Protoc Immunol 2001 May.:Unit 13.3. | | Abstract | The alternative pathway of complement shares its terminal components (C3 and C5 through 9) with the classical pathway, but has several unique components, including factors D, B, and P (properdin). This unit presents methods for assaying total alternative pathway activity and the activity of factors B and D. Radial immunodiffusion (RID) can also be used to measure factor D, B, and P concentrations. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
