Formation of the SC5b-9 complex. NHS was incubated for 60 min with PBS (negative control), zymosan (positive control; 1 mg/mL) and fractions S1 to S5. The assay was done using a commercial kit (Quidel SC5b-9 Complement® kit, USA). The columns represent the means ± SEM of one experiment done in duplicate. ** p < 0.01 and **** p < 0.0001 compared to the negative control, and § p < 0.05 compared to S4
