Interpretation
Less than or equal to 3.9 ug Eq/mL is considered negative for circulating complement binding immune complexes.
Circulating immune complexes may be found without any evident pathology and positive results do not necessarily implicate the immune complex in a disease process.
Useful For
Detecting circulating immune complexes
