Studies on the Inactivation of Complement by Shaking
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 May 2009
Extract
In a former paper on the inactivation of the haemolytic complement by means of shaking (1913), I considered it possible that the process of shaking-inactivation might be explained by assuming that an adsorption of the complement occurred on the surfaces of the precipitate, which is always found when a serum is shaken. I was unable however either to fix the complement of a fresh serum by adding the centrifuged coagula of a shaken serum or, on the other hand, to set free a complement presumably adsorbed on the surface of precipitated proteins, which are found to be soluble only in alkali. I therefore had to leave undecided the question as regards the nature of the process of shaking-inactivation.
