Abstract
The sera from forty patients with mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis (MCGN), fifty-two patients with acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) and twenty-five patients with the nephritis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were examined for concentrations of C1q, C4, C3, C5, C6, C7, glycine-rich beta glycoprotein (GBG) and properdin, for their ability to generate cobra factor-dependent convertase, and for the presence of C3 splitting activity.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
