The Complement System: Overview

Tap card to see the definition

Major component of Innate Immune System

Consists of over 30 proteins, which participate in a tightly regulated cascade-like activation process.

Protects host from pathogenic microorganims, contributes to immune complex regulation & is an important link between the innate & adaptive immune systems.

3 Major Outcomes of Complement Activation

Tap card to see the definition

1. Stimulation of inflammatory reactions via release proinflammatory mediators, which induce chemotaxis of leukocytes (leading to microbe destruction) & inflammation

2. Opsonization of pathogens by depositing fragments of complement proteins on the pathogens, making them more susceptible to phagocytosis

3. Complement-Mediated Cytolysis, via formation of a Membrane Attack Complex, which can insert itself into bacterial membrane & cause osmotic lysis
