C5b initiates the membrane attack pathway, which results in the membrane attack complex (MAC), consisting of C5b, C6, C7, C8, and polymeric C9. MAC is the cytolytic endproduct of the complement ...

A complement C4 (also known as a complement component 4, or simply C4) is a test to measure the level of C4 proteins you have in your blood. These proteins play a role in how your immune system ...

The lectin pathway is the third pathway in the complement cascade, discovered after the classical and alternative pathways. It more closely resembles the classical pathway due to similar binding ...

The alternative complement pathway plays a key role in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy. Iptacopan specifically binds to factor B and inhibits the alternative pathway. In this phase 3, double-blind ...

These findings suggest complement protein levels may be an important biomarker for type 1 diabetes. Disruption of the complement system appears to precede the onset of islet autoimmunity (IA), making ...
