Enhancing effect of autologous human erythrocytes on generation of C3 cleavage products beyond iC3b.

The in vitro formation of C3d and C3c in fresh normal human serum (NHS) after addition of five different activators of the complement (C) system was studied. Following C-activation in NHS (n = 53) by Sephadex G-200 beads, the conversion of C3 was found to proceed to iC3b with a variable but restricted generation of C3d. Similar results were obtained by use of heat-aggregated IgG, Escherichia coli, zymosan, and cobra venom factor. However, comparing the C3d concentration following activation in the presence and absence of autologous red blood cells (RBC) at 37 degrees C the generated C3d was found to be 2- to 3-fold higher in the presence of RBC after 30, 60, and 210 min. Preincubation of RBC with polyclonal anti-CR1 antibodies resulted in a dose-dependent reduction of the amount of C3d generated. C-activation induced by Sephadex G-200 beads, in the absence of RBC, generated iC3b without a significant production of C3d. After removal of the activator beads, addition of RBC resulted in a decrease of iC3b and a clear increase in the C3c and C3d concentration within 3 h. Western blotting analysis of the C3d produced in the presence of RBC showed that the molecular weight (36 kilodaltons) was similar to that of C3d formed in vivo.
