Abstract
Tissues isolated from human fetuses as early as 9 wk gestation synthesized the fifth component of complement (C5). Production of biologically active C5 was temperature dependent, reversibly inhibited by cycloheximide, and was accompanied by incorporation of 14C-labeled amino acids into C5 protein. Significant C5 production was detected in cultures of liver, lung, and small intestine.
