Complement Fixation in Intestinal Parasitism of Dogs

Indirect Complement Fixation in Foot-and-Mouth Disease

Metabolic consequences of intestinal parasitism.

Clinical and subclinical intestinal parasitism is characterized by impaired production (Sykes & Coop, 1976; Steele, 1978) with poor growth rates in young animals and loss of body weight in older animals. Sheep also incur severe reductions in wool growth. A number of comprehensive reviews prepared over the last decade characterize and contrast the magnitude of such impairment across a range of i...

Complement Fixation in Diseased Tissues

An immunohistologic complement fixation test has been used in an effort to detect immune complexes in sections of kidney from rats injected with rabbit anti-rat kidney serum and in sections of biopsied kidneys from four humans with membranous glomerulonephritis. Sections of the rat and human kidneys were treated with fluorescein-conjugated anti-rabbit globulin or antihuman globulin respectively...

Complement Fixation Tests in Pertussis.

Bordet and Gengou (1), in 1906, performed serological tests on pertussis employing the organisms which they discovered and claimed to be the causative agent of whooping cough as the antigen for the complement fixation test. They got a positive reaction in most cases of the disease. Yet, later investigations failed to confirm these results. Among those who confirmed their results were Renaux (2)...
