• erythrocytes show slightly increased susceptibility to antibody-induced lysis by human, but not by rat, complement compared to wild-type
• antibody-sensitized erythrocytes exhibit increased C3 deposition compared to wild-type cells
• mutant erythrocytes transfused into wild-type mice are more rapidly eliminated than controls indicating increased susceptibility to spontaneous complement attack in vivo, however cells are protected from removal when transfused to C3 deficient mice
