It was previously reported that hemolytic activity was restored to the serum of an individual with acute glomerulonephritis upon the addition of purified beta-1C-globulin (
3). At the time it was known that this preparation of beta-1C-globulin was contaminated with two other complement components, beta-1F-globulin (
5) and
62 though the latter complement component has not been immunochemically characterized. Recently a method has been described by Nilsson and Müller-Eberhard for the separation of these proteins, so that immunochemically pure beta-1C-globulin can be obtained which is free of beta-1F-globulin,
6 and beta-1H-globulin, another contaminant which is not a complement component.
