Complement system
The complement system is a complex network of proteins that enhances the ability of the immune system to clear pathogens from an organism. This study note provides a detailed overview of the complement system, including its activation pathways, functions, and regulation, and highlights its significance in immunology and disease treatment.

Pathways of Complement activation
The complement system is a crucial component of the immune response, consisting of a cascade of proteins that work together to identify and eliminate pathogens. There are three main pathways of complement activation: the classical pathway, the alternative pathway, and the lectin pathway. Each pathway is initiated by different triggers and involves unique mechanisms of…
