An anti-C3d antibody or antibody fragment; method for use thereof to kill cancer cells; and related methods and compositions.

The solid composite stabilizer for PCE includes the following components in parts by weight: 10 to 30 parts of a phenol-substituted ion-exchange resin, 50 to 80 parts of a basic anion-exchange resin, and 50 to 100 parts of a desiccating agent. The phenol-substituted ion-exchange resin is chloromethylated macroporous polystyrene-divinylbenzene (PS-DVB) substituted by a phenolic compound; and the basic anion-exchange resin is chloromethylated macroporous PS-DVB substituted by an amine compound. The preparation method includes the following step: thoroughly mixing the phenol-substituted ion-exchange resin, the basic anion-exchange resin, and the desiccating agent in a specified ratio to obtain the solid composite stabilizer for PCE. The solid composite stabilizer for PCE is packaged in a glass fiber bag and placed in PCE for storage and use.

[Problem] To provide a complex compound useful as a catalyst for a hydrophosphorylation reaction and a process for producing the same.

[Means to Solve the Problem] A complex compound of the present invention is a complex compound of a resin fine particle represented by the following general formula (1):
