Understanding the function of complement component C7 reveals its essential part in forming the membrane attack complex (MAC) and controlling immune responses. Current methods utilize high-sensitivity assays to measure C7 activity by analyzing purified proteins in physiological environments. These protocols consist of forming C5b-7 complexes on membranes before adding C8/C9 to evaluate MAC-induced cell lysis. Real-time monitoring of lytic activity becomes possible through analytical techniques like flow cytometry and fluorometric readouts, and the specificity of these methods is validated by testing with C7-deficient serum controls. The methods used are specifically designed to reduce non-specific interactions, resulting in consistent results throughout all experimental replicates.
