Studies on Complement Fixation

نویسنده

  • R. L. Kahn
چکیده

It is shown by complement fixation studies with protein antigens and specific immune rabbit sera that the rate of fixation of complement is determined by the concentration of antibodies in the immune sera, that the greater part of fixation of complement takes place during the 1st hour, and that fixation is practically completed at the end of 4 hours at ice box temperature. It is further shown that the rate. of fixation of complement is practically the same at ice box, room, and water bath temperatures, the tendency being for slightly stronger fixation at ice box temperature.

Growth enhancement of the Reiter treponeme by fatty acids.

Interest in the Reiter strain of Treponema pallidum, a nonpathogenic, cultivatable, anaerobic spirochete, has been stimulated by the demonstration that the organism possesses four antigens; one, a thermolabile protein, being group specific for treponemes (D'Alessandro et al., 1949). This antigen has recently been employed in a Reiter protein complement fixation test for syphilis (Cannefax and G...

The knowledge that exists of the role of complement in immune reactions has been gained from investigations limited almost entirely to studies in vitro. Very little is known of the role of complement in immune reactions in vivo. I t has not been demonstrated that complement fixation occurs in animal tissues in vivo in some way analogous to the fixation of complement to antigen-antibody aggregat...
