    Influence of various biomaterials on the complement system in serum has been intensively studied by many research groups, since activation of the complement pathway in vivo has been known to give rise to some pathological conditions, such as inflammation and anaphylaxis. Much effort has been devoted to develop new materials that do not activate or deteriorate the complement system. The present work is aimed at revealing the mode of reactions of anionic poly(2-acrylamido 2-methylpropane sulfonate) grafted on polystyrene bead (PAMPS-g-bead) with serum complement. Complement activity assay, determination of complement proteins levels, and immunoblot analysis were carried out for sera pretreated with PAMPS-g-beads. The results clearly showed that, when PAMPS-g-beads were incubated with serum, those beads adsorbed several complement proteins, i.e. C1q, factor D, factor P, C6, and C8, but the generation of activation fragments of complement components was not observed. Especially, factor D was most effectively removed from serum, resulting in potential inhibition of the alternative pathway. A larger amount of PAMPS-g-beads was needed to decrease the serum CH50 level. That may be caused by removal of C6. Although some polyanions, such as dextran sulfate, were reported to activate the complement system, the obtained results indicate that the PAMPS-g-bead is not an activator of the complement pathway, but acts as an adsorbent of complement components. One possible clinical application of the PAMPS-g-beads is adsorption of serum factor D by extracorporeal treatment of patients with renal failure with a high level of factor D, because the increased quantity of factor D in serum may cause consistent activation of the alternative pathway.
