Abstract
Two factors essential for the lysis of EAC''142 cells are described and designated as [beta] and d. These factors are distinct from the C''3-subunits a, b and c described earlier; they can be separated by chemical procedures. A simple assay method for both factors is given. Four highly reactive intermediates, EAC''142, a; EAC''142, a,b; EAC''142 a b,[beta] and EAC''142, a,b,[beta],c can be prepared and characterized by their lytic reactivity pattern against different systems of incomplete C''3. Evidence is presented that the subunits of the C''3-system interact with EAC''142 in a sequential order corresponding to the formula a-b-[beta]-c-d.
