    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to the detection of binding events associated with a protein complex comprised of a protease deficient Complement Factor I (FI) protein. Certain embodiments of the present invention provide for a protein complex comprising a Complement Factor I, C3b and further comprising at least one other protein from Complement Factor H (FH), Factor-H-like protein 1 (FHL-1), soluble membrane cofactor protein (sMCP), and soluble complement receptor 1 (sCR1), wherein the Complement Factor I comprises at least one mutation that causes inactivation of Complement Factor I protease activity. Further embodiments of the present invention provide for a protein complex comprising a Complement Factor I, C4b and further comprising at least one other protein from soluble complement receptor 1 (sCR1), soluble membrane cofactor protein (sMCP) and C4b binding protein (C4bp), wherein the Complement Factor I comprises at least one mutation that causes inactivation of Complement Factor I protease activity.
