IMTEC-Complement Activity is an enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) for the quantitative determination of the total classical complement activity in human serum. The assay is intended for in vitro diagnostic use only as an aid in the determination of a complement deficiency.

The complement system consists of at least 20 plasma proteins. It is responsible both for the elimination of circulating immune complexes over the classic pathway of the complement activation and for the defence against infectious pathogens over the alternative pathway of the complement activation. Both pathways of complement activation lead into the formation of the terminal lysis complexes (membrane attack complexes).
