The lectin pathway of complement activation
- Abstract:
-
The complement system is an important immune system mechanism involved in both the recognition and elimination of invading pathogens. It is activated by three different pathways: The classical pathway, which relies on binding of C1, and results in the cleavage of C4 and C2 through activation of C1r and C1s; the alternative pathway that relies on the spontaneous hydrolysis of C3 and the lectin pathway. The lectin pathway is activated by binding of Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) or the ficolins (L...
