[La] fixation du complément [est définie comme une] réaction immunologique in vitro reposant sur le principe suivant: quand un complexe antigène-anticorps se forme, il fixe le complément présent dans le milieu. Ainsi fixé, ce complément n'est plus disponible pour entraîner la lyse de globules rouges sensibilisés ajoutés dans un deuxième temps. [...] Cette réaction [...] a été adaptée au diagnostic de nombreuses infections, la syphilis notamment. 3, record 1, French, - fixation%20du%20compl%C3%A9ment
