C3c and C3d fragments were prepared in pure form from trypsin-digested human C3, and the individual chains of tryptic C3c were isolated by gel filtration on Sepharose 4B in 6 M guanidinium hydrochloride. No low MW fragments were identified. The polypeptide chains were characterized with regard to MW, amino acid composition and N-terminal amino acid sequence. Tryptic C3c consisted of 1 fragment from the .beta.-chain (MW 64,000) and 2 from the .alpha.''-chain (MW 40,000 and 23,000). The .beta.-chain fragment was derived from the C-terminal part of the chain, and the 23,000 MW component constituted the amino terminal end of the .alpha.-chain. The 40,000 MW fragment emanated from the C-terminal end of the .alpha.-chain. Tryptic C3d displayed microheterogeneity on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate, but possessed a homogeneous N-terminal. By utilization of antisera against subunits of C3 and C3c in immunoblotting a degradation scheme for C3 by trypsin was proposed and the positions of the fragments in the intact molecule were indicated.
