1 Increased susceptibility to erythrocyte C5b-9 deposition and complement-mediated lysis in chronic renal failure  Jonathan Himmelfarb, Ellen Mcmonagle, Diane Holbrook, Raymond Hakim  Kidney International  Volume 55, Issue 2, Pages (February 1999) DOI: /j x Copyright © 1999 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Identification of C5b-9 deposition on intact erythrocytes by flow cytometry. #P < 0.01 vs. normal controls; *P < 0.01 vs. samples without the addition of cobra venom factor (CVF). Symbols are: (□) no CVF; (▧) CVF. Kidney International  , DOI: ( /j x) Copyright © 1999 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions

4 Figure 3 Identification of C5b-9 deposition on erythrocyte ghosts using flow cytometry. #P < 0.01 vs. normal volunteers; *P < 0.01 vs. samples without the addition of cobra venom factor. Symbols are: (□) no CVF; (▧) CVF. Kidney International  , DOI: ( /j x) Copyright © 1999 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions

5 Figure 4 Identification of C5b-9 deposition on erythrocyte ghosts by ELISA. #P < 0.01 vs. normal volunteers; *P < 0.01 vs. samples without cobra venom factor. Symbols are: (□) no CVF; (▧) CVF.
