摘要: The phagocytosis of particles activating the alternative pathway complement by human monocytcs cultured under serum-free conditions was studied. In contrast to native zymosan particles, which were easily ingested, rabbit erythrocytes and agarose heads had be coated with C3b or C3bi engulfed monocytes. binding ingestion monocytes greater than for same equivalent amount C3b. uptake beads proportional on particles. activator C3b- C3bi-coated sheep erythrocytes, are non-activators, not ingested monocytes, although attachment took place. presence methylamine cobra venom factor, inhibitors, strongly reduced whereas only weakly affected. This suggests that is sensitive interference from a cell-derived C3 convertase (C3bBb). Binding activators via receptor(s) discussed.
