Comparison between immunofixation and crossed immunoelectrophoresis for the detection of C3 activation products. 1979

A De Vecchi, and G Montagnino, and L Massaro, and A Constantino, and P L Bencini, and A Tarantino

C3 breakdown products were measured in 51 fresh and stored sera and/or EDTA plasma samples from 18 healthy subjects, 8 patients affected by essential mixed cryoglobulinaemia, and 15 patients with miscellaneous glomerulonephritis, by simultaneous crossed immunoelectrophoresis and immunofixation. C3 splitting products, as determined by both methods compared well, and showed a highly significant correlation. The advantages and reliability of these two methods are discussed. Immunofixation seems to be the most suitable for routine use in clinical practice, being less expensive and more rapid to perform.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007122 Immunoelectrophoresis A technique that combines protein electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. In this procedure proteins are first separated by gel electrophoresis (usually agarose), then made visible by immunodiffusion of specific antibodies. A distinct elliptical precipitin arc results for each protein detectable by the antisera.
D007123 Immunoelectrophoresis, Two-Dimensional Immunoelectrophoresis in which a second electrophoretic transport is performed on the initially separated antigen fragments into an antibody-containing medium in a direction perpendicular to the first electrophoresis. Immunoelectrophoresis, Crossed,Immunoelectrophoresis, 2-D,Immunoelectrophoresis, 2D,2-D Immunoelectrophoresis,2D Immunoelectrophoresis,Crossed Immunoelectrophoresis,Immunoelectrophoresis, 2 D,Immunoelectrophoresis, Two Dimensional,Two-Dimensional Immunoelectrophoresis
D010265 Paraproteinemias A group of related diseases characterized by an unbalanced or disproportionate proliferation of immunoglobulin-producing cells, usually from a single clone. These cells frequently secrete a structurally homogeneous immunoglobulin (M-component) and/or an abnormal immunoglobulin. Gammapathy, Monoclonal,Gammopathy, Monoclonal,Monoclonal Gammopathies,Paraimmunoglobulinemia,Paraimmunoglobulinemias,Paraproteinemia,Plasma Cell Dyscrasias,Monoclonal Gammapathies,Monoclonal Gammopathy,Cell Dyscrasia, Plasma,Dyscrasia, Plasma Cell,Monoclonal Gammapathy,Plasma Cell Dyscrasia
D003176 Complement C3 A glycoprotein that is central in both the classical and the alternative pathway of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION. C3 can be cleaved into COMPLEMENT C3A and COMPLEMENT C3B, spontaneously at low level or by C3 CONVERTASE at high level. The smaller fragment C3a is an ANAPHYLATOXIN and mediator of local inflammatory process. The larger fragment C3b binds with C3 convertase to form C5 convertase.

D003450 Cryoglobulins Abnormal immunoglobulins, especially IGG or IGM, that precipitate spontaneously when SERUM is cooled below 37 degrees Celsius. It is characteristic of CRYOGLOBULINEMIA. Cryoglobulin,Cryoprotein,Cryoproteins
D005921 Glomerulonephritis Inflammation of the renal glomeruli (KIDNEY GLOMERULUS) that can be classified by the type of glomerular injuries including antibody deposition, complement activation, cellular proliferation, and glomerulosclerosis. These structural and functional abnormalities usually lead to HEMATURIA; PROTEINURIA; HYPERTENSION; and RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. Bright Disease,Kidney Scarring,Glomerulonephritides,Scarring, Kidney
