title: [The development of a C1q-solid-phase immunoenzyme method for determining circulating immune complexes].
abstract: The method of quantitative enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for the determination of circulating immune complexes (CIC) was developed on the basis of solid-phase human C1q. The calibration curve was plotted with the use of aggregated human gamma-globulin (AHGG), the optimum range of concentration being 15-500 microg/ml. In the process of approbation on clinical material the method revealed an elevated level of CIC in the sera of patients in comparison with their level in the sera of healthy donors. Out of 40 studied serum samples from patients with Yersinia infection, in 3 serum samples the levels of CIC was 26, 65 and 94 microg of AHGG equivalents per ml. In 4 out of 46 studied serum samples obtained from patients with diagnosed Yersinia arthritis the level of CIC was 12, 27, 46 and 186 microg of AHGG per ml, and in serum samples from healthy donors this level was 8.6 microg/ml [corrected].
