Abstract

The proteins from labelled human spleen membranes and polymorphonuclear leucocytes which bind to the iC3b fragment of complement component C3 were prepared by iC3b-Sepharose chromatography in the presence of bivalent cations. Complement receptor type 3(CR3) was eluted from iC3b-Sepharose by removal of bivalent cations. Complement receptors type 1 and 2 (present in spleen but not in polymorphonuclear leucocytes) were sequentially eluted by an NaCl gradient. An additional protein of Mr 135 000 was eluted from iC3b-Sepharose under the same conditions as those used to elute CR3. Preabsorption of the starting material on an anti-(CR3 beta-subunit) antibody column before iC3b-Sepharose chromatography removed the alpha- and beta-chains of CR3 and the 135 000-Mr protein. Preabsorption with iC3b-Sepharose before the anti-(CR3 beta-subunit) antibody column showed that iC3b binds CR3 and p150,95, the smallest member of the group of three homologous proteins that share the same beta-subunit.
