Abstract
Experiments are described using the reactive lysis system on phospholipid dispersions to study the terminal phases of complement lysis. It has been found that, both on lecithin and on sphingomyelin-cholesterol liposomes, marker release and characteristic EM lesions can be found upon the sequential activity of C567 and C8 and C9 and that for both these parameters of lysis the action of C8 and C9 as well as of C567, are required.
