What is Overview of the Complement System about?
The complement system is a group of plasma proteins that enhance the immune response by opsonizing pathogens and facilitating their clearance. It consists of approximately 30 serum molecules and can be activated through classical, lectin, and alternative pathways, leading to inflammation and antimicrobial defense. Key components include C3a, C3b, and C5a, which play crucial roles in recruiting phagocytes and damaging pathogens.
