title: Computer-assisted linearization of the von Krogh Curve for the measurement of serum complement titre.
abstract: Computer simulations of complement titre measurement in sera by linearizing the sigmoidal curve of complement dose response were performed, to simplify the logarithmic calculations of CH50 values. CH50 titres of large variety of human sera including healthy donors and immune deficiency patients were estimated. The values obtained were compared with the hand-simulated results using the Y/(1-Y) conversion table and a log-log graphic paper. Using computer simulation, CH50 can be determined with great ease.
