... 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
