When activated, the system of serum proteins known as complement is involved in a wide variety of responses to inflammatory and noxious stimuli. In this article Eric Brown and Michael Frank review the activation of complement by the classical and alternative pathways and discuss some of its biological effects.

Initiation of Complement Activation
Springer Seminars in Immunopathology, 1984The complement system is an excellent one to look at as an example of a triggered enzyme system. It is found to use almost all the strategies of enzyme cascades and for initiation which were discussed in the introduction. The classical pathway is a fine example of an active zymogen form of activation and the alternative pathway is the canonical example

Summary A test has been devised to measure hemolytic complement activity of mouse serum. The chief requirement for detecting mouse hemolytic complement is the use of extremely large amounts of sensitizing antibody. The hemolytic factor measured in mouse serum is indeed complement.

Activation of Complement by Endotoxin
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1973Ovine erythrocytes (E) coated with endotoxin (LPS) from Salmonella typhosa 0901 have been used for characterization of the nature of a pathway by which LPS activates complement (C). E-LPS consumed C in normal guinea-pig serum in a manner identical to that in which C is consumed by LPS, that is, with marked consumption of C3-C9 and little depletion of ...

Bispecific Complement Engagers for Targeted Complement Activation
The Journal of Immunology, 2023Abstract Activation of the complement system represents an important effector mechanism of endogenous and therapeutic Abs. However, efficient complement activation is restricted to a subset of Abs due to the requirement of multivalent interactions between the Ab Fc regions and the C1 complex.
