Abstract
Four methods are available to elucidate the biological significance of the serum-complement system:
-
1.
The demonstration of complement components at the site of the immunological event.
-
2.
Investigation with animals possessing a genetic C defect.
-
3.
Experiments with anticomplement substances and
-
4.
Turnover studies with individual C-components.
