Studies on the Role of Ca++ and Mg++ in Complement Fixation and Immune Hemolysis

[摘要] 1. 1. It has been shown that Ca++ as well as Mg++ are essential for immune hemolysis.2. 2. Mg++ can be replaced with a fair degree of efficiency by Co++ or Ni++. The requirement for Ca++ could not be met by Co++, Mn++, Ni++, Mg++, Cd++, Sr++, Ba++, and Zn++.3. 3. Evidence is presented showing that immune hemolysis takes place in at least two reaction steps: Step 1, involving C′ fixation requires Ca++; Step 2 is a reaction of an unknown nature, which requires Mg++.
