A sensitive hemolytic assay for mouse C3.

R Ranken, W D Linscott

    Journal of Immunological Methods
    |January 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    A new assay detects mouse complement component 3 (C3) in highly diluted serum. A C3-inactivator system in mouse serum is inhibited by Suramin.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Complement component 3 (C3) is crucial in immune responses.
    • Accurate detection of C3 in mouse serum is vital for immunological research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a sensitive assay for quantifying mouse C3.
    • To investigate the presence and characteristics of a C3-inactivator in mouse serum.

    Main Methods:

    • A hemolytic assay was established using guinea pig complement components.
    • Standard laboratory techniques were employed for assay development.
    • The effect of Suramin on the C3-inactivator system was examined.

    Main Results:

    • The developed assay can detect mouse C3 in serum diluted thousands of times.
    • Mouse serum possesses a potent, heat-stable C3-inactivator.
    • Suramin significantly blocks the activity of this C3-inactivator.

    Conclusions:

    • A sensitive and practical assay for mouse C3 has been established.
    • The findings reveal a significant C3-inactivator in mouse serum.
    • Suramin demonstrates potential for modulating complement activity in mouse models.
