Circulating Immune Complex, C1q Binding
Use
This test is useful for detecting circulating immune complexes. It assists in understanding clinical disorders where immune complexes may be contributing to disease processes, although a positive result doesn't necessarily implicate the immune complex in a specific disease process.
