About C4 (Complement 4)
The Complement system is composed of a series of circulating blood proteins that serve as mediators of the inflammatory response. C4 is utilized only by the classical complement pathway, so that it is decreased only when this pathway is activated. In diseases activating the alternate pathway alone, C4 levels will be normal. Measurements of this protein aids in the diagnosis of immunologic disorders, especially those associated with deficiencies of complement components.
Methodology
Immune complexes formed in solution scatter light in proportion to their size, shape and concentration. Turbidimeters measure the reduction of incident light due to reflection, absorption, or scatter.
In the procedure, the measurement of the decrease in light transmitted (increase in absorbance) through particles suspended in solution as a result of complexes formed during the antigen-antibody reaction, is the basis of this assay.
