AI Article Synopsis
- There are various methods for detecting complement activation products, but no universal standard exists for clinical measurement.
- The text outlines a modified assay for measuring C3dg, which is a component related to complement activation.
- This modified assay is highlighted as simple, inexpensive, and stable, providing an accurate reflection of complement turnover regardless of the activation pathway.
Article Abstract
Detection of complement activation products can be carried out in a number of ways, and different methods are used in different laboratories. No international standard for measuring complement activation in the clinical setting has been agreed upon.Here we describe a modified assay for measuring C3dg. The assay is simple, inexpensive and stable. The estimation of C3dg directly reflects complement turnover independently of activation pathway.
