  1. Ghosts were exposed to C5b-7 or C5b-9 (8 units) and the amount of hemoglobin released into the medium was measured by the absorbance at 414 nm. Results are expressed as the percentage of hemoglobin released into the supernatant. The total residual hemoglobin inside the ghosts after total lysis with a detergent is 100%. Numbers represent averages ±1 SD of two experiments performed in triplicate.
