## Abstract Current concepts of activation of the alternative pathway of complement (APC) focus on the central role of an amplification mechanism triggered by C3b which is covalently bound to the surface of activating substances. Using sulfated polyanions as model substances, an efficient fluid‐pha

## Abstract ## Objective Collagen antibody–induced arthritis in mice exhibits a requirement for amplification by the alternative pathway of complement. Although the alternative pathway is activated by spontaneous hydrolysis, it is not known whether this pathway can also be initiated directly by Ig
