Studies on Complement Fixation
It is shown by complement fixation studies with protein antigens and specific immune rabbit sera that the rate of fixation of complement is determined by the concentration of antibodies in the immune sera, that the greater part of fixation of complement takes place during the 1st hour, and that fixation is practically completed at the end of 4 hours at ice box temperature. It is further shown t...
متن کاملQuantitative micro-complement fixation test.
A quantitative micro-complement fixation test capable of detecting nanogram quantities of antigen is described. The test is simple to perform and is highly reproducible. Typical results from three antigen-antibody systems are given.
متن کاملStudies on Complement Fixation in Tuberculosis. Iii
The prolonged extraction of the tubercle bacillus with boiling ethyl alcohol, followed by one or more reprecipitations by chilling the hot alcoholic solution, easily yields a preparation very active as antigen in the complement fixation reaction. This preparation gives a precipitation reaction with high dilution of the normal blood serum of a number of species. The precipitation reaction presen...
متن کاملMicro-complement fixation: a quantitative estimator of protein evolution.
The quantitative immunological technique of micro-complement fixation (MC'F) has been routinely used during the past decade to assess evolutionary relationships among living vertebrate species. The large data base that has been generated, along with the excellent correlations between immunologically measured genetic distances and paleontologically derived estimates of divergence times, have for...
متن کاملQuantitative Chemical Studies on Complement or Alexin
1. A modified method is given for the titration of human complement so that C'1 titers are measured, as in guinea pig serum, instead of the C'2 titers yielded by the usual titration. 2. The measurement of complement combining component or components in weight units, instead of relative terms, is carried out as in guinea pig serum and leads to similar values, 0.03 to 0.05 mg. of C' N per ml. of ...
