Ten mg of monosodium urate crystals reduced the CH50 [total hemolytic complement] of 1 ml of human serum by 57% after 30 min at 37.degree. C. C1, C4 and C3 depletion of 52, 68 and 46% were typical of classical pathway activation. C1 binding and activation occurred when urate crystals were incubated with isolated precursor C1, and required the intact macromolecule, C1qrs. Activation of isolated C1 by urate crystals was not diminished by F(ab'')2 anti-Fc under conditions in which C1 activation by aggregated immunoglobulinG was blocked by the F(ab'')2 antibody. [Activation of C by monosodium urate crystals may contribute to the development of acute gout].
