Abstract
The reaction of human, bovine, and pig properdin with excess zymosan exhibits an induction period followed by a rapidly accelerating formation of the properdin-zymosan (PZ) complex. Two methods for determining the quantity of PZ complex are given, one using human serum lacking properdin, the other using a fraction of pig serum containing complement components, C'1, C'3 and C'4.Keywords
