Level expression of C3b fragment. Expression levels of C3bα and C3bβ fragment were determined by Western blot analysis using HRP-labeled anti-rabbit IgG antibody. Band intensities were determined using an imaging densitometer, and the expressions of the protein were calculated relative to the intensity of β-actin. Two to three mice per group were used for the preparation of the protein homogenates, and Western blot analysis were assayed in duplicate for each sample. Data are reported as the mean ± SD. *p < 0.05 as compared to the FVB/N group
