| PAG Description | The complement system of plasma proteins is an important part of the immune system that forms a cascade of factors that lyses foreign cells. There are two branches of the complement system, the classical pathway that is initiated by antibody-antigen complexes on a cell and the altertive pathway that is antibody independent. The ultimate result in either pathway is the creation of the membrane attack complex, a large pore in the cell membrane that results in cell lysis. |
