Abstract
1. A quantitative study has been made of the activity of C′1, C′2 and C′4 in the complements of the horse, cat, pig, man, guinea-pig and rabbit.2. Evidence is presented which suggests that either there may be two types of C′4, the one haemolytic and the other conglutinating, or else that the manifestation of this complement component varies under conditions not yet understood.3. In certain complements it appears that the serum proteins functioning as C′1 with the bovine anti-sheep red cell antibody are distinct from those functioning as C′1 with an antibody of similar specificity from an immune rabbit serum.
