The complement cascade is a biochemical process in the blood that helps or 'complements' cells of the immune system to eliminate invading pathogens. When activated by one of three pathways, a cascade of serial cleavage events results in a marked amplification of the immune response and formation ...
The complement cascade is a key component of the innate immune system that is rapidly recruited through a cascade of enzymatic reactions to enable the recognition and clearance of pathogens and promote tissue repair. Despite its well-understood role in immunology, recent studies have highlighted new ...

Bordet由此推断,血清中一定含有某种迄今还没有被发现的成分,这种成分对热敏感、非常脆弱,而且极其微量,但可以作为抗体的补充使其能够与细菌发生作用从而消灭细菌。他将其称为防御素,后来被命名为“补体”。 目前已知补体是由30余种可溶性蛋白...

The complement system is a crucial mediator of the innate immune mechanisms; its three major activation pathways contribute to cellular homeostasis, and protect the host from pathogens and self-derived components. The complement pathways are tightly regulated by surface-bound molecules and soluble protein...
Fig. 1. Activation and regulation of the human complement system. There are 3 known arms of the complement cascade, including the classical, alternative, and lectin pathways [10]. The ligands and sequence of activation are shown for each pathway. Note that all three pathways converge to cleave...
the blood clotting system, complement proteins interact with one another in a catalytic cascade known as complement cascade. The complement system is made up of approximately 40 proteins of an enzymatic, receptor, and regulatory nature, which all participate in a very well-functioning immune system....
