| Abstract | ||
| An immunological study were performed to estimation the concentrations of complement components ( C3 and C4), alph-1 antitrypsin and alph-2 macroglobulin in sera of patients with B - thalassemia in Babylon province . The concentrations of these immunological parameters were determined by single radial immunodiffusion assay (SRID) . This study revealed decreases in levels of complement components ( C3 and C4) in patients which reached 89.2 and 19.9 mg/dl respectively , while it was 96.7 and 21.9 in control group , furtheremore , this study revealed decreases in levels of alph-1 antitrypsin in patients in comparison with the healthy subjects , while there was no differences in mean of concentrations of alph-2 macroglobulin between these two groups . The results illustrated that decreases in levels of complement components as well as alph-1 antitrypsin in patients compared with healthy subjects in babylon province. | ||
