C1q acts in the tumour microenvironment as a cancer-promoting factor independently of complement activation [PDF]
, 2015 Complement C1q is the activator of the classical pathway. However, it is now recognized that C1q can exert functions unrelated to complement activation.

Effect of antigen site and complement receptor status on the rate of cleavage of C3c antigen from red cell bound C3b [PDF]
Blood, 1988 C3b was bound to human red cells when serum complement was activated by addition of antibodies directed against different red cell antigens, and the rate of cleavage to C3dg was determined by assay for loss of bound C3c antigens using radiolabeled monoclonal anti-C3c.
