Notes:
Summary The third component of the pig complement system (C3) was isolated in hemolytically active form and characterized. The C3 component is a β-globulin with the molecular weight of 191,000 and is composed of 2 non-identical polypeptide chains of Mt 112,000 and 74,000. The isolated C3 can be used for the detection of the C3b receptor on the membranes of heterologous peritoneal macrophages.
