The Complement System of the Nurse Shark: Hemolytic and Comparative Characteristics
Abstract
The complement system of the nurse shark was investigated. Six functionally pure components were isolated from a single serum sample. Sequential reactions of the components with sensitized sheep erythrocytes resulted in membrane lesions indistinguishable from the ``holes'' caused by guinea pig complement.
