Abstract
THE lytic step of the complement reaction sequence is biologically very important. An attempt to determine its nature by indirect methods was previously made in this laboratory1,2. Another direct approach to the problem was conceived when it was shown that the “classical” third component of haemolytic complement (C′) comprises at least six distinct factors3,4.
