Abstract excerpt

The complement status of hybrid, laboratory raised carp was determined by an in vitro approach of the alternate complement activity (ACH50) and total haemolytic activity (CH50), and by measurement of serum C3 levels. The lysis of target sheep red blood cells (RBC) in the haemolytic assay for CH50...
