Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

The question is asking about the observations we would make in a complement fixation test (CFT) when sheep red blood cells (sRBC) are added to wells containing different combinations of antibodies, complement, antigens, and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). In a CFT, when an antigen and its specific antibody are present in the serum, they will bind together.
