Activation of complement C3 by different calcium phosphate powders.

Abstract:

:The ability of different calcium phosphate to activate the complement system is studied by crossed immunoelectrophoresis demonstrating conversion of C3 to C3b. Complement consumption is determined by a haemolytic assay CH50. Hydroxyapatite powders after sintering induce a significant conversion of C3 and reduction of CH50 value. However the complement system is not activated by sintered tricalciumphosphate (beta-whitlockite). This is not related to the adsorption behaviour; it depends neither on chemical composition nor on crystal lattice. It is argued that C3 conversion is not triggered by the convertase of the classical pathway.
