Complement proteins C5b-9 induce vesiculation of the endothelial plasma membrane and expose catalytic surface for assembly of the prothrombinase enzyme complex

Assembly of the terminal complement proteins C5b-9 on human endothelial cells results in increased cytosolic calcium and nonlytic secretion of high molecular weight multimers of von Willebrand factor from intracellular storage granules. We now demonstrate that this C5b-9-induced secretory response i...
