Dosage du complément hémolytique total. La zone finale d'hémolyse (hémolyse 100%) est difficile à déterminer. Aussi préfère-t-on se servir de l'hémolyse 50 %. Le tube où est reconnue l'hémolyse 50 % contient par définition "une unité de complément hémolytique 50 %" (1 unité CH 50). Par un calcul simple de dilution, on exprime le résultat du dosage fonctionnel en nombre d'unités CH 50 contenues dans un millilitre du milieu biologique étudié (unités CH 50/ml). Un seul tube est nécessaire dans le dosage du complément par temps d'hémolyse 50%. 1, record 1, French, - h%C3%A9molyse%2050%20%25
