The C3 convertase of the C3b feedback cycle was generated in the fluid phase from C3b and factors B and D. It was shown to be an effective decomplementing agent when reacted with human serum. Many of the effects observed were dependent on the operation of the feedback during the ongoing reaction. Oxidization of factor B with iodine did not significantly increase the potency or the stability of the enzyme. Treatment of C3b with antrypol inhibited the formation of the enzyme. In preliminary experiments in the rat, the convertase was successfully formed in vivo, accompanied by cleavage of C3, consumption of C5, C6 and C7, and a biphasic change in the circulating neutrophils.
C3b 反馈循环的 C3 转化酶在液相中由 C3b 与因子 B 和 D 生成。当与人类血清反应时,它被证明是一种有效的补体灭活剂。观察到的许多效应取决于正在进行的反应过程中反馈的运作。用碘氧化因子 B 不会显著提高该酶的效力或稳定性。用抗胰蛋白酶处理 C3b 会抑制该酶的形成。在大鼠的初步实验中,该转化酶在体内成功形成,同时伴有 C3 的裂解、C5、C6 和 C7 的消耗以及循环中性粒细胞的双相变化。
