Disease relevance of Complement Hemolytic Activity Assay

 

High impact information on Complement Hemolytic Activity Assay

  • Serum from this patient demonstrated a fall in C3, C4, and total hemolytic complement levels during the syndrome, in association with circulating IgM immune complexes [6].
  • Moreover, simple incubation of human plasma with dialyzer cellophane causes conversion of C3 and factor B, accompanied by depletion of total hemolytic complement and C3 but sparing of hemolytic C1 [7].
  • The levels were compared with levels of total hemolytic complement and immunochemical determinations of Cl1 and C3 [8].
  • When adjusted for total protein, synovial levels of total hemolytic complement, C3, C4, and alpha 2-M did not differ significantly in the two groups [2].
  • Interactions of heparin and protamine in fresh human serum, in amounts far below those required for complement depletion by either agent alone, were found to induce virtually complete depletion of total hemolytic complement activity [9].

Associations of Complement Hemolytic Activity Assay with chemical compounds

  • Examination of the synovial and pericardial fluid showed noteworthy decreases in total hemolytic complement (CH50) and C3 levels, while these were normal in the serum [19].
  • RF mixed with aggregated, reduced, and alkylated human IgG (Agg-R/A-IgG) in the fluid phase failed to significantly reduce the level of total hemolytic complement, CH50, or of individual complement components, C1, C2, C3, and C5 [20].
  • Serum complement profiles performed on these patients found low total hemolytic complement assays, normal concentrations of C1q, and low or undetectable concentrations of C3 through C6, C8, C9, and factors B and I [21].
  • Serum levels of total hemolytic complement, C3, and factor B decreased following heat challenge, whereas levels of C4 and C5 did not [22].
  • Incubation of cells of H. influenzae type b in C2-deficient serum or AGS-Mg-EGTA did not cause complement consumption (total hemolytic complement and C3) [23].
