Abstract
A glycoprotein was isolated from human plasma which partially inhibited C3 carrying erythrocytes from binding to complement receptor cells (CR+C). Based on its physicochemical characteristics and its antigenicity this glycoprotein was identified as aI-antitrypsin (α1-AT). The activity of α1-AT towards-C3 and its fragments was unaffected by heating but it was destroyed by periodic acid. The isolated carbohydrate moiety of α1-AT showed the same effect as the intact molecule. Using F(ab)2 of IgG-anti-α1-AT, α1-AT could be demonstrated on Raji cells and human erythrocytes. Treatment of these CR+C with IgG-anti-α1-AT resulted in a blockade of their C3 receptor activity. The results suggest, that α1-AT interacts through its carbohydrate portion with C3 and its fragments and functions as a complement receptor molecule.
