The complement system, consisting of three initiating pathways—classical, lectin and alternative, is an important part of innate immunity. Dysregulation of the complement system is implicated in the ...

The complement system is a major pillar of the humoral innate immune system. As a first line of defense against pathogens, it mediates early inflammatory response and links different branches of ...

The classical complement pathway is an important effector mechanism for clearance of infections, which is also employed in immunotherapies to eliminate tumor cells. Its initiation is governed by the ...

The fact that the complement system is activated during immune-complex glomerular disease has been known for nearly 50 years. Detection of complement deposition in the glomerulus using immunochemistry ...

The complement system consists of several complement proteins synthesized by the liver’s Kupffer cells and subsequently found in the body’s blood and tissues. The proteins themselves are both zymogens ...

Complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a rare kidney disease that affects your body’s innate immune system (complement system). Complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a kidney disease that’s caused by ...

The term complement references a set of serum proteins that cooperate with both the innate and the adaptive immune systems to eliminate blood and tissue pathogens. Like the components of the blood ...
