3.4.21.41 after reduction and alkylation C1rbar undergoes proteolytic cleavage which lead to the successive removal of two fragments of 35000 Da and of 7000-10000 Da, leaving a divalent molecule of reduced size. The product C1rbar II retains the original antigenic properties of C1rbar and a functional active site, but loses the capacity to bind C1s 81398 3.4.21.41 C1rbar undergoes autolytic cleavage 81403
