A method to obtain C1r, a subunit of the first complement component, in a highly purified state has been described for the first time. The stepwise method starts with a neutral euglobulin precipitation, after diethylaminoethyl- and carboxymethyl-cellulose chromatography and a final preparative polyacrylamide electrophoresis step. Such C1r preparations are devoid of C1q and C1s activities and show only one protein band on analytic polyacrylamide electrophoresis. Rabbits injected with this preparation produced antisera showing only one precipitation band. The stability of C1r activity was determined under different conditions, and C1r was found to be labile at 37°C, pH 7-8 and low ionic strength.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
