EAC4b,3b (sheep erythrocytes carrying rabbit antibody and guinea pig complement component fragments C4b and C3) adsorb human C5b,6 reversibly; the avidity of binding varies inversely with ionic strength. We believe that the receptor of C5b,6 is contributed by the cell-bound C3b because the binding capacity of EAC4b,3b varies with C3b multiplicity and can be blocked with rabbit antibody to guinea pig C3. The fixation of C5b,6 to the erythrocyte-bound C3b serves to concentrate C5b,6 on the cell surface; as a consequence, the hemolytic efficiency of C5b,6 is almost 100 times greater when assayed with EAC4b,3b than with plain erythrocytes. This potentiation represents a hitherto unrecognized function of cell-bound C3b.
