The complement cascade was inactivated in a model of rat liver ischemia with the purpose
of studying the role of complement in tissue injury after ischemia and reperfusion. Soluble
human complement receptor type 1 (sCRl) was administered either in a single dose of 25
mg/kg or in 2 doses of 50 mg/kg iv over 24 hr after vascular occlusion. Sham-operated rats,
nontreated rats submitted to liver ischemia, and rats pretreated with cobra venom factor and
submitted to liver ischemia were used as controls.
