Method for eliminating anticomplementary activity in animal sera.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method is described for removing the anticomplementary activity of sera by the addition of normal porcine serum. Results of sera taken from four animal species immunized with influenza, coxsackievirus, echovirus, and vaccinia viral antigens are presented.

Improvement of anticomplementary activity assay for the quality control of immunoglobulin product: an Iranian pilot scale study
Abstract Background and Objectives One of the side effects of immunoglobulin administration is the activation of the complement system related to the high concentration of aggregates/large polymers in the production process. Measuring anticomplementary activity (ACA) is important in pharmaceutical quality control and is a criterion of spontaneous activation of complement system in immunoglobuli...
متن کاملNonspecific Complement Activation by Streptococcal Structures
The observation (1) that inhibition of HLA cytotoxicity by streptococcal antigens was, in reality, due to consumption of complement (C) by these antigens prompted us to further investigate the mechanism of this consumption. Several possibilities for this anticomplementary activity were considered. Since human sera often contain antibodies to a number of streptococcal antigens, a specific intera...
متن کاملThe Relation of Certain Bacteria to Non-specific Reactions with the Complement Fixation Test for Lues
Several investigators who have had a large experience with the complement fixation test for lues have called attention to the development in sera of anticomplementary bodies which cause inhibition of hemolysis in both the antigen and control tubes, and they have found that in most instances this property of the serum is lost after heating it for half an hour at 560 C. In some instances, however...
متن کاملDetection of endotoxin in commercial L-asparaginase preparations by complement fixation and separation by chromatography.
Of 15 L-asparaginase preparations tested, 13 inhibited whole human serum complement; the inhibitory effect ranged from 12 to 45%. We have partially characterized the anticomplementary activity in one of the L-asparaginase preparations. The anticomplementary activity was separable from the L-asparaginase activity on Sephadex G-200. Fractions containing L-asparaginase had no effect either on whol...
متن کاملA short, reliable, highly reproducible complement fixation test for the serological diagnosis of contagious equine metritis.
A complement fixation test, using round-bottomed microtitration plates and an 8 channel microdiluter, based on that used for brucellosis by Herr, Huchzermeyer, Te Brugge, Williamson, Roos & Schiele, 1985, has been developed for use on the sera of horses to detect antibodies to the contagious equine metritis organism. The results with 2 known positive sera tested 116 times in 27 separate tests w...
