title: Rapid determination of the human complement factor B phenotypes.
abstract: A rapid phenotyping method for human complement factor B (Bf) was worked out using high voltage acetate electrophoresis. The results were compared with those obtained by conventional agarose gel electrophoresis. Separation of the bands was performed in the same way, but only 2.5 hours were required for the evaluation of 24 samples. Furthermore, at least ten times less specific antibody was needed than for the conventional technique.
