Abstract: | Kinetic studies of complement activation were followed by hemolytic assay. Mathematical analysis shows that the curve is composed of two exponents: the first one, which occurs during a short span of time, represents the classical pathway, the second the alternative pathway. We were therefore able to foretell the respective participation of each activator used: inulin, zymosan, and aggregated immunoglobulins. |
