Precision Complement Testing: A Cornerstone of Modern Immunological Research

1كيلو بايت

The complement system, a crucial component of innate immunity, plays a multifaceted role in host defense, inflammation, and immune regulation. As research into complement-targeted therapies accelerates, the need for reliable and nuanced testing methods has become increasingly apparent. A range of specialized assays now enables scientists to evaluate complement activity with precision, supporting therapeutic development.

 

Hemolysis Inhibition Assay

Evaluating Inhibitor Potency Among the most informative tools for assessing complement inhibition is the hemolysis inhibition assay. This method measures the ability of therapeutic agents—such as anti-C5 antibodies or regulatory proteins like CD55 and CD59—to prevent red blood cell lysis triggered by the membrane attack complex (MAC). By quantifying the extent of inhibition, researchers can determine the functional efficacy of complement-targeting compounds. The assay supports both classical (CH50) and alternative (AH50) pathway analysis, offering flexibility for diverse experimental needs.

 

CH50 Functional Test Kit

Classical Pathway Assessment For laboratories focused on the classical complement pathway, the CH50 functional test remains a gold standard. This assay evaluates serum’s capacity to lyse antibody-coated erythrocytes, producing a CH50 value that reflects overall pathway activity. The test is widely used to detect complement deficiencies, monitor disease progression, and assess the impact of immunomodulatory treatments. Its compatibility with multiple species and consistent reproducibility make it a staple in both clinical and research settings.

 

Individual Component Activity Testing

Molecular-Level Insights While total complement activity offers a broad overview, dissecting the function of individual components provides deeper understanding. Quantitative assays such as ELISA, nephelometry, and radial immunodiffusion (RID) allow for accurate measurement of proteins like C3, C4, C5, Factor B, and Factor H. Functional assays further assess each component’s ability to restore hemolytic activity in deficient serum, offering critical insights into immune dysfunction and therapeutic mechanisms. This dual approach is particularly valuable in the study of autoimmune diseases, infections, and complement-mediated disorders.
