چکیده
Complement-fixation inhibition test was adapted to the microtiter system. When cat and monkey non-complement-fixing antibody were used, the microtest was shown to be as sensitive as the conventional tube complement-fixation inhibition test.

Specific Fractionation of Human Antidextran Antibodies
Human antidextran of one individual, absorbed specifically on sephadex, was fractionated into two populations of antibody molecules by successive elution with oligosaccharides of the isomaltose series of increasing size. The purified antibody fractions and some whole antidextran sera were found to fix complement with dextrans of molecular weight of 195,000 and above. It could be demonstrated by...
متن کاملCompetitive enzyme immunoassay for detection of complement-fixing antibodies in diagnostic virology.
A competitive enzyme immunoassay was developed to detect serum complement-fixing antibodies in virus diseases. This assay utilized conglutinin-covered plastic beads as the solid phase to detect specific antibody-antigen complexes that competed for complement with a probe complex comprised of Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase and its specific antibody. Binding to the solid phase is C3bi mediat...

Complement fixation inhibiting and complement-fixing antibodies were demonstrated in sera from cats during the acute and convalescent stages, respectively, of feline picornavirus infections. Complement-fixing antibody activity was present in 19S and 7S globulins, whereas complement fixation inhibiting antibody activity was confined to the 7S globulins. Sera with complement-fixing antibody and s...
