Complement deposition on density-separated RBCs. (A) Percentage of C3c-positive RBCs in the PNH RBC population divided per CD59 content (type I, II, and III) per density (Percoll fraction; N = 2); (B) percentage of C3d-positive RBCs in the PNH RBC population according to CD59 content (type I, II, and III) per Percoll fraction (type I, II, and III; N = 3). The samples were analyzed as described before (see Materials and Methods). U, unseparated; f1, f3, f5, fractions of increasing density isolated by Percoll density separation (Materials and Methods).
