The Opsonic Effect of Complement on the Phagocytosis of -Globulin-Coated Bentonite Particles¹

From the Samuel J. Sackett Research Laboratory and the Department of Medicine, Northwestern University Medical School, Chicago, Illinois

Abstract

Evidence has been presented which indicates that opsonization of -globulin-coated bentonite is diminished in sera lacking C'1, C'2 and C'4, but not in sera lacking C'3. These observations provide additional evidence for the similarity of -globulin-coated particles and specific antigen-antibody complexes in their interactions with the complement system.
