A one-step procedure for preparation of classical pathway (C1q) and alternative pathway (factor D) depleted human serum

F Praz et al. J Immunol Methods. 1982.

Abstract

A simple method for preparation of a serum depleted in both C1q and Factor D is described. The hemolytic activities of both pathways are completely abolished and can be fully restored using the respective purified complement components. Furthermore, this serum is useful for studying cell systems since blocking either complement pathway does not require chelating agents.
