Genetically determined deficiency of the third component of complement in the dog

JA Winkelstein, LC Cork, DE Griffin, JW Griffin, RJ Adams, and DL Price

A genetically determined deficiency of the third component of complement (C3) has been identified in a colony of Brittany spaniels. Immunochemical methods show no detectable C3 in the serum of the affected dogs, and there is no evidence of an inhibitor of C3 in the serum. The C3 deficiency appears to be transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait.
