The relationship of the 100% end-point (MHD) to the (C'H₅₀) was 1:2, 5. The use of thrombin tubes induced clotting within 2 min and enabled the process of complement preparation to be completed well within 1 hour.en©ARC - Onderstepoort and Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria (original). ©University of Pretoria.
