Abstract
In the analysis of liquids, particularly biological liquids such as serum or urine, mouse serum or a component of mouse serum is used as a reagent. The reagent has the ability to combine with antibody:antigen complexes (but not free antibody or antigen) and to combine with IgG and IgM. It differs markedly from human C1q in that it remains active at high pH and in the presence of certain substances known to destroy human C1q. It is a very broadly applicable reagent in immunoassays, and particularly useful in techniques involving agglutination latex particles.
