Total complement activity (CH50) IVD, kit, precipitation/immunodiffusion
Definition
A collection of reagents and other associated materials intended to be used for the qualitative and/or quantitative measurement of total complement activity (CH50) in a clinical specimen using a precipitation/immunodiffusion method. It is useful in the investigation of recurrent bacterial infections, symptoms of inflammatory disease, and monitoring of chronic autoimmune conditions [e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)].
