The complement system plays an important role in host defense against infection and in most inflammatory processes. The standard 50% hemolytic complement (CH50) assay is the most commonly used method of screening patient sera for functional activity of the classical complement pathway. Our objective in this study was to compare two newer methods (the enzyme immunoassay and the liposome immunoassay) to a commercial CH50 assay for measuring total classical complement activity. We conclude that both newer methods compare well with a CH50 assay and are equally sensitive in screening routine clinical sera.
补体系统在宿主抗感染防御及大多数炎症过程中发挥着重要作用。标准的50%溶血补体(CH50)检测是筛查患者血清中经典补体途径功能活性最常用的方法。我们在本研究中的目的是将两种较新的方法(酶免疫测定法和脂质体免疫测定法)与一种商用CH50检测法进行比较,以测定总经典补体活性。我们得出结论,这两种较新的方法与CH50检测法相比效果良好,且在筛查常规临床血清时同样敏感。
