[Comparative characteristics of conglutination and immunoconglutination reactions and their participating constituents].

The difference between the hemolytic and conglutinating properties of equine complement was shown by the method of conglutinin and immunoconglutinin titration in the author's modification. Different localization of conglutinating antibodies (in the supernatant fraction) and conglutinins (in the sediment) in bovine serum was revealed by the method of serum fractionation in the stream of carbon dioxide. The differences in the localization of conglutinins and immunoglutinins (in the sediment and the supernantant fraction respectively), as well as the differences in the localization of hemagglutinins and conglutinins in the sera (in different fractions) were determined.

[Experimental study of the general serology of immunopathological processes].

Serological criteria for detection of the circulating immune complexes and for a possible evaluation of a comparative expression of the corresponding pathological process were investigated. Foreign serum was repeatedly administered to rabbits against the background [corrected] of the circulating anyibodies. A study was made of the three serological indices (changes in the complement titre, and increase in the anticomplementary properties of the sera, the apperance in the blood and titres of immunoconglutinin) and the data of biological activity of the sera (an increase of total toxicity and the capacity to induce local reaction in the intradermal test on guinea pigs and adrenalectomized albino mice).
