The alexination and conglutination reactions. The reactions between sensitized erythrocytes and horse complement and between alexinated erythrocytes and conglutinin.

This research explores the reactions between sensitized cells and horse complement, as well as reactions between alexinated cells and conglutinin, providing a method for their quantitative measurement. It determines optimal times for these reactions at different temperatures and indicates that the alexinated configuration interacting with conglutinin and immuno-conglutinin is not a recognized intermediate in the immune haemolysis process.

Quantitative Measurement Method of Reactions

• The study outlines a detailed method for quantitatively measuring the reactions between sensitized erythrocytes (red blood cells) and horse complement and between alexinated erythrocytes and conglutinin. Although the method is described as labor-intensive, it is presented as a crucial tool in understanding these complex interactions.

Determination of Optimal Reaction Times

• Through the application of this method, optimal times of reactions at various temperatures were determined. This is a significant aspect of the research as it could potentially influence the efficiency and effectiveness of these reactions, which could carry vital implications for future research.

Alexinated Configuration Interaction

• The findings from the research indicate that the alexinated configuration with which conglutinin and immuno-conglutinin react is not one of the well-recognized intermediates formed during the process of immune haemolysis. Immune haemolysis is a process where the immune system leads to the rupture or destruction of red blood cells.
• This information challenges current understanding within the field and suggests that there might be other complex and as yet unrecognized configurations involved in this process.
