| Introduction | Complement iC3b is an inactive form of C3b, which is formed through the cleavage of C3b by factor I in the presence of factor H. Complement receptors on white blood cells are able to bind iC3b, so iC3b functions as an opsonin. Unlike intact C3b, iC3b cannot associate with factor B, thus preventing amplification of the complement cascade through the alternative pathway. Complement factor I can further cleave iC3b into a protein fragment known as C3d. |
