抄録

<jats:p> The fifth component of guinea pig complement, with a sedimentation coefficient 7.8 <jats:italic>S</jats:italic> , is cleaved by sensitized sheep erythrocytes treated with the first four components of complement into two fragments with sedimentation coefficients of 7.4 <jats:italic>S</jats:italic> and 1.5 <jats:italic>S</jats:italic> . The smaller fragment, with a molecular weight of about 15,000, possesses chemotactic activity for rabbit polymorphonuclear leukocytes, as well as anaphylatoxic activity for guinea pig ileum. </jats:p>
