Abstract excerpt
Investigation of the complement proteins encoded in the class III region of the human MHC isclinically significant. A low level of components that make up the classical pathway is indicative of an underlying in vivo complement activation or primer complement deficiency. Hemolytic tests of C4 and C2 described are the only methods that allow quantitification of the functional complement proteins. The application of...
