  3. Background • Evolutionary old system • Non specific defence system • Constitutive • Very fast • Selectivity and self-tolerance • Activation by antibodies possible • Interaction with the specific immune system • Functions • Lysis of cells/ bacteria and viruses • Opsonization for phagocytes • Immune Clearance • Similarities and crosstalks with the clotting cascade • Cascade of serine proteases, which activate each other • Two (three) pathways of activation • Factor XIIa (Hageman-Factor) activates both the clotting cascade and the complement cascade

  8. Regulation of the Complement Cascade • Short half-time of • C3b • C3bBb • C5b • C1 inhibitor • Inhibits the C1s activity • Protein S in Serum • Binds to C5b67 • Inhibits Formation of the Membrane Attack Complex • HRF or CD59 • Bind to C8 • Inhibits C9 binding • Factor H • Binds to C3b • Facilitates binding of Factor I • cleaves C3b to inactive iC3b • cleaves C4b to inactive fragments • Decay Accelerating Factor • Increased dissociation of C3 convertase (both pathways)

  9. Complement Activation General • Hydrophobic surfaces • Oxides • Strong binding of C3(b) to nucleophilic groups (-NH2, -OH) • Higher absorption of C3 to crystalline TiO2 than to amorphous • Kallikrein directly activates C5 • Plasmin directly activates C5 Classical Pathway • Antibodies IgM, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 • Lectin via the mannan binding protein (MBP) “Lectin Pathway” • Hageman Factor (F XIIa) • Rough surfaces • C-reactive protein (CRP) • (Zirkonium, transiently) Alternative Pathway • PE debries • Acetylated chitosan

  13. Consequences in vitro • Lysis of “innocent” neighbour cells • Red blood cells • Activation of phagocytic cells • Release of reactive oxygen species • Release of mediators

  14. Consequences in vivo • Factors of complement activation at revised hip implants • One single study(Tang L. et al.J Biomed Mater Res41: 333-340 (1998)) Au-Mercaptoglycerol induces strong inflammatory response in control animals. No reaction in Complement-depleted animals.

  24. Conclusions • The blood plasma has four cascade systems • Clotting cascade • Fibrinolytic cascade • Complement system • Kinin system • All four systems are proteolytic cascades • Besides the main streams there are many cross connections with minor importance • Common activators and cross activation • Common inhibitors/ regulators • C1 Esterase Inhibitor • Hageman Factor (F XII) • Effective in all systems • Directly activated by surfaces (esp. negatively charged) • 1-3% people have deficiencies without clinical syndromes • Plasmin • Directly effective in three systems • Indirectly also effective on the clotting cascade

  25. General Conclusions Biomaterials research is an interdisciplinary field • Physics/Materials science • Modification and check of physical surface properties • Roughness • Surface free energy • Hardness, tribological properties • Surface charges, electrical and electronic properties • Bulk properties • Chemistry • Corrosion • Polymers • Chemical surface modification • Chemical reactions of the biomolecules with the biomaterial • Life science • Knowledge about the normal biochemical situation • Knowledge about changes at certain diseases • Check of influences due to the biomaterial • Support of the physiological situation
