Presentation Transcript

  1. Effector mechanisms of humoral immunity The Complement System (C’) Activation pathways Effector functions Regulation of complement activation

  2. Jules Bordet (1870-1961) 1919. Nobel prize For complement-mediated bacteriolysis Complement system (complements i.e. assists functions of antibody)

  3. Complement system Consists of serum and cell surfaceproteins involved in defense against pathogens and tissue damage mediated by antibodies Effector mechanism of both innate and adaptive humoral immunity

  4. Complement system • Over 30 serum and cell surface proteins: • Complement components • (in serum inactive, activated sequentially as a cascade) • Complement receptors • (cell surface, recognize activated components) • Regulatory proteins of complement • (both in serum and cell surface, inhibit activated components)

  5. Complement system Pathways of activation - Classical - Alternative - Lectin

  6. Activation and functions of complement (overview)

  7. Activation pathway Early steps Late steps Classical C1, C4, C2 C3, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9 C3, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9 MBL, C4, C2 Lectin Alternatve C3, B, D (P) C3, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9
