iC3b levels in sera of donors with allergy, immunodeficiency or cancer disease exposed to cobra venom.

Notes: Complement activation in serum of donors with allergy, immunodeficiency or cancer disease exposed to cobra venom grouped by blood type (A) and by gender (B). In (A) the open symbols correspond to donors with different allergies, the solid symbols to donors with immunodeficiency and the cyan star is the mean value of the 15 donors suffering from breast or lung cancer, of which we do not know the blood type. The pink symbols represent the average of all donors with allergy (open star) and all donors with immunodeficiency (cross). The horizontal lines correspond to the activation of pooled serum from healthy donors. In (B) the cyan stars correspond to the iC3b activation of serum from each individual donor with cancer.
