Summary
The complement system consists of a series of
proteins that work to "complement" the work of
antibodies in destroying microorganism.
There are three pathways for activation of
complement cascade, classical , alternative and
lectin pathways. The system is undergo three
phases Initiation phase, amplification phase and
membrane attack phase.
