Cofactor activity of human factor H for human and bovine C3b. (A) Analysis of cofactor activity by SDS-PAGE gel analysis. C3b (human or bovine) was mixed with human factor H and factor I (human or bovine), incubated at 37 °C for the indicated time, and examined for C3b cleavage (α′-chain cleavage) by running the reaction mix on SDS-PAGE. (B) The amount of α′-chain at different time points was quantitated densitometrically and plotted against time. (C) Relative cofactor activity of factor H against human and bovine C3b in the presence of human or bovine factor I. The molar concentration of the complement components used in the cofactor assay was: 758 nM Hu/Bo C3b, 11 nM Hu/Bo factor I and 473 nM Hu factor H.
