[Sensitivity of transformed EHSVi fibroblasts to the antibody-complement lytic system. Cooperation between the lytic
Abstract:
The sensitivity of transformed EHSVi fibroblasts to the antibody-complement lytic system was evaluated, at various antibody concentrations (Ac), in conditions in which a variation of the lytic activity proportional to Ac3, 1 may be observed. This points out, not the expected cooperation between IgG molecules in activating C1 within a definite lytic unit, but a cooperation between the lytic units themselves, and therefore the existence of a cell defence.
