C3 cleavage fragments were analyzed by western blot. a The immunoreactive bands corresponding to C3α, iC3b and C3dg are denoted. Under the same C3 concentration, the C3 breakdown products iC3b were more in HBV-ACLF group than the one in CHB group. Prominent iC3b band was found in plasma samples in HBV-ACLF patients. b The histogram was showed the difference of the expression of C3a between CHB group and ACLF group (P < 0.05). c The histogram was showed the difference of the expression of iC3b between CHB group and ACLF group (P < 0.05). d The histogram was showed the difference of the expression of C3dg between CHB group and ACLF group (P < 0.05)
