[A] serologic [test] based on inactivation of complement by the antigen-antibody complex ... that can detect antibodies to or antigens from an infectious agent in a blood or tissue sample. 5, record 1, English, - complement%20fixation%20test
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
... complement fixation tests [are] widely used [two-staged] procedures for the detection of antigens or antibodies.... heat-inactivated antiserum(or antigen) is reacted with the test material in the presence of a known amount of complement. If the homologous antigen(or antibody) is present in the test material, complement is fixed. Then sheep red blood cells and antisheep erythrocyte antibody are added; lack of hemolysis indicates complement fixation, i. e., a positive test result. 2, record 1, English, - complement%20fixation%20test

[Le complément] se fixe sur le complexe antigène-anticorps et cette fixation est détectée par la perte de son pouvoir hémolytique sur les hématies de mouton préalablement sensibilisées par des anticorps antiglobules rouges de mouton. 3, record 1, French, - test%20de%20fixation%20du%20compl%C3%A9ment

Le «test de fixation du complément» est fondé sur la «réaction de fixation du complément». Il est donc abusif d'utiliser le terme «réaction de fixation du complément» pour désigner le test. 4, record 1, French, - test%20de%20fixation%20du%20compl%C3%A9ment

Immuno-adsorbant. L'antisérum est déposé sur une colonne contenant l'antigène sur lequel s'adsorbent spécifiquement les anticorps correspondants.
