Complement depletion in the hamster by cobra venom factor (CoF) gives a higher frequency and severity of lesions after intrahepatic inoculation of Entamoeba histolytica. The CoF-treatment does not alter the humoral immune response to amebae, indicating that its effect on the amebic liver abscess is not due to suppression of the immune response but rather to its effect on complement levels at the time of the protozoal infection.
用眼镜蛇毒因子（CoF）使仓鼠体内补体耗竭后，在肝内接种溶组织内阿米巴后会出现更高频率和更严重的病变。CoF处理不会改变对阿米巴的体液免疫反应，这表明其对阿米巴肝脓肿的作用不是由于免疫反应的抑制，而是由于其在原生动物感染时对补体水平的影响。
