bFGF release from ghosts

Ghosts (5 × 108/ml) containing 125I-bFGF were exposed to either C5b6-7 or C5b-9 (8 units) for up to 60 min. Aliquots were removed and centrifuged for 5 min. 125I-bFGF was measured in the supernatant. The amount of radioactive tracer released by the MAC is expressed as the percentage of the total radioactivity in the original ghosts. The data points were calculated from the means of triplicate samples and displayed a variation of <10%.
