Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The complement fixation test uses sheep red blood cells and complement to detect the presence of antibodies in a patient's serum. This is done by measuring the amount of complement that is bound in the presence of the patient's serum and sheep red blood cells. A decrease in complement levels indicates the presence of antibodies in the patient's serum that have bound to the sheep red blood cells. This test is commonly used to diagnose infectious diseases.
