## Abstract To analyze the role of the classical and alternative pathways of complement activation in the effector phase of arthritis, we have induced arthritis in C3โ and factorโB (FB)โdeficient (C3^โ/โ^ and FB^โ/โ^) DBA/1J mice using wellโdefined monoclonal IgG2b and IgG2a antibodies to typeโII c
## Abstract A simple, sensitive solidโphase radioimmunoassay to quantitate the activation of the classical pathway of complement by rheumatoid factor (RF) is described. RF (purified, in serum or synovial fluid) was bound to reduced and alkylated IgG adsorbed to polyvinyl chloride microtiter plates
## Abstract Current concepts of activation of the alternative pathway of complement (APC) focus on the central role of an amplification mechanism triggered by C3b which is covalently bound to the surface of activating substances. Using sulfated polyanions as model substances, an efficient fluidโpha
