| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What complement compound is in both the classic and alternative pathway? | C3 |
| What is the goal of complement? | lysis (or removal) of cells coated with specific antibody |
| What activates the alternative complement pathway? | c3b (coated pathogen) |
| Which complement protein acts as an opsonin | c3b- Bb-C3bP |
| What is cleaved by C3b-Bb | C3 |
| What is the order of activation in the lectin activation pathway | MBL, c4, C2, C3 |
| What is first cleaved by Clqrs in the classical pathway | c4 |
| What initiates complement activation in the lectin pathway | Mannose binding Lectin |
| what is cleaved by c4b2a3b | c5 |
| Which complement proteins are not used in the alternative pathway? | c1, c2, c4 |
| deficiency in C2 would lead to what disease? | immune complex disease |
