ABSTRACT
The C3 cleavages of human blood kept at different temperatures in vitro were studied. In 14 autopsy cases, the postmortem intervals(PMI) were estimated based on the C3 cleavage rates and the rectal temperatures. The 95% confidence of predicting PMI was?11 hours. The phenotyping of C3 could be achieved while the C3 cleavage rate was measured. It is suggested that it is useful for the personal identification of unknown corpses.
