title: Kinetics of the classical complement activation cascade.
abstract: Transient-phase and steady-state equations have been derived for the classical complement activation mechanism. From these equations the corresponding ones for the rapid equilibrium conditions have been derived. We propose an experimental design to determine the kinetic parameters.
