چکیده
The 50% spectrophotometric complement titration end-point (C'H50) was found to be more reproducible than the 100% end-point. The relationship of the 100% end-point (MHD) to the (C'H50) was 1:2, 5. The use of thrombin tubes induced clotting within 2 min and enabled the process of complement preparation to be completed well within 1 hour.

متن کاملCharacterization of complement activity in serum of the four sturgeon species, Acipenser stellatus, A. baeri, A. nudiventris and Huso huso (Chondrostei: Acipenseridae)
Serum complement is valuable tool in determining the health status of fish. This study was conducted to examine in vitro activity of serum complement as an indicator of innate immunity in four sturgeon species, Acipenser stellatus, A. baeri, A. nudiventris and Huso huso (Chondrostei: Acipenseridae). The Effects of different temperatures, concentrations and volumes of serum on alternative comple...
متن کاملStandardization of the Wassermann test using preserved complement titrated to 50 per cent haemolysis.
This paper describes a modification of the Wassermann test giving an improved standardization of the complement titration and of the haemolytic system which is suitable to the resources of a small laboratory. Advantage has been taken of the stability of complement preserved by the method of Richardson (1941), so that modern methods for the standardization of the haemolytic system can be include...

متن کاملDetection of penicillin tolerance in streptococci.
"Tolerance" to penicillin in streptococci was investigated by two different techniques. Of 70 strains examined, 35 appeared tolerant in conventional titrations and 31 appeared tolerant when tested by a recently-described disc method. There was 88% agreement between the two methods, but the disc test failed to detect tolerance shown by titrations in six strains of streptococci, including three b...
