Wassermann test

A complement-fixation test used in the diagnosis of syphilis; originally the “antigen” was an extract of liver from a syphilitic fetus, but later the active substance, referred to as cardiolipin, was found to be present in normal tissues, including heart, and has been identified as a diphosphatidylglycerol.
