Complement factor B and the alternative pathway of complement activation in bovine milk

Journal of Dairy Research, 2002
The contribution of the alternative pathway of complement activation to the capacity of normal milk to deposit C3 fragments on bacteria was tested by attempting to block C3 deposition with antibodies to the alternative pathway component factor B (fB).

Duplication of the MHC-linked Xenopus complement factor B gene

Immunogenetics, 1995
We have previously reported the molecular cloning of the mammalian major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III gene, complement factor B (Bf) from Xenopus laevis, and linkage of the gene to the frog MHC. Here, we estimated the copy number of the Xenopus Bf gene by genomic Southern blotting analysis and demonstrated that Xenopus laevis has two ...

Quantitative differences between complement factor-B phenotypes.

Immunology, 1981
In a study of 365 unrelated blood donors the structural polymorphism was determined by high-voltage electrophoresis followed by immunofixation with monospecific anti-Bf serum as described by Alper, Boenish & Watson (1972), and serum levels were measured by rocket-immunoelectrophoresis as described by Sjöholm (1975).

Structure and activation of complement components C2 and Factor B

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1984
The activation of complement is initiated by two independent pathways. Each leads to the formation of a complex protease, C3 convertase, with equivalent specificity and function but different composition. The convertase derived from the classical pathway is composed of complement components C4 and C2 while that from the alternative pathway consists of ...

Rapid determination of the human complement factor B phenotypes.

Haematologia, 1989
A rapid phenotyping method for human complement factor B (Bf) was worked out using high voltage acetate electrophoresis. The results were compared with those obtained by conventional agarose gel electrophoresis. Separation of the bands was performed in the same way, but only 2.5 hours were required for the evaluation of 24 samples.
