[Application of CH50 assay to the detection of circulating immune complexes (author's transl)]. 1977

F Santoro, and P Wattre, and A Capron

Detection and titration of circulating immune complexes appear as an essential tool for the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of immune complex diseases. Authors propose a simple, rapid, senstive and quantitative method based on the evaluation of complement by soluble immune complexes measured by 50% hemolytic activity. This technique was compared to the I125 C1q binding test and may be recommended for clinical laboratory use.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007105 Immune Complex Diseases Group of diseases mediated by the deposition of large soluble complexes of antigen and antibody with resultant damage to tissue. Besides SERUM SICKNESS and the ARTHUS REACTION, evidence supports a pathogenic role for immune complexes in many other IMMUNE SYSTEM DISEASES including GLOMERULONEPHRITIS, systemic lupus erythematosus (LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS, SYSTEMIC) and POLYARTERITIS NODOSA.

D003165 Complement System Proteins Serum glycoproteins participating in the host defense mechanism of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION that creates the COMPLEMENT MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX. Included are glycoproteins in the various pathways of complement activation (CLASSICAL COMPLEMENT PATHWAY; ALTERNATIVE COMPLEMENT PATHWAY; and LECTIN COMPLEMENT PATHWAY).
