Abstract

Changes in circulating levels of immunoglobulins (IgM and IgG), C3, acute-phase reactants, total protein, albumin, iron, and indicators of hepatic and renal function were monitored for up to 3 weeks after a single IV Corynebacterium parvum (C. parvum) injection. In addition to a marked increase in immunoglobulins, there was also evidence of complement activation and of tissue injury typified by a classic acute phase response in levels of α2-macroglobulin and fibrinogen.
