C3a des Arg measurements for classical and alternative specific hemolytic assays

	C3a des Arg concentration (ng/ml)
Pathway	Without UEA-II	With UEA-II
Alternative pathway	8120 ± 965	7110 ± 1022
Classical pathway	3830 ± 722	3540 ± 493

UEA-II concentration was 1 μmol/L (1:30 HS diluted with GVB, see Materials and Methods) in both assays. Each value represents the mean ± SEM for 10 experiments. There was no significant difference between the C3a des Arg concentration in treated vs. untreated samples. Samples were assayed in duplicate.
