Complement dependent Cytotoxicity - (May/25/2009 )
What is the difference between Antibody-dependent Complement-mediated Cytotoxicity and Complement-dependent Cytotoxicity?
Making my question clearer : When we say CDC. does it mean both classical and alternative pathway or conventioanlly it only refers to classical pathway only? I suppose Ab-dependent complement mediated cytotoxicity refres to only classical pathway. Or, can they be used interchangeably?

I believe both terms, ab-dependent CDC and CDC refer to the same phenomena.
And it refers only to the classical pathway (ab activated pathway)
