- W85839097 abstract "The complement system is comprised of at least 18 plasma proteins and consists of four functional divisions: two pathways for activation (classical and alternative), a common amplification mechanism for the activating pathways, and a final common effector pathway to which the activating and amplifying sequences are directed. The classical pathway is activated by certain antigen-antibody complexes, while the alternative pathway may be initiated non-immunologically by various microbial polysaccharides. Indeed, mixtures of purified C3, B, D, and P regulated to low-grade interaction by the presence of C3bINA and beta1 H respond to zymosan with amplified C3 and B inactivation. Both pathways form enzymes termed C3 convertases that cleave C3 to generate its major fragment, C3b. C3b interacts with each C3 convertase to permit C5 cleavage in activation of the effector complement sequence, and it interacts with alternative-pathway factors B and D to generate additional C3 convertase, C3bBb, in the amplification pathway. As C3 cleavage represents the most critical step in the elaboration of the biologic effects of the complement system, modulation of this reaction by generation, stabilization, and inactivation of the amplification convertase C3bBb may well determine whether initial activation of the complement sequence eventuates in beneficial or detrimental effects for the host. Initial generation of C3bBb is dependent on prior cleavage of C3, which may occur by the classical pathway or the alternative pathway. Stabilization of C3bBb is achieved with either P or C3NeF after their binding to C3b and C3bBb, respectively. Control of this amplifying step occurs at three levels: intrinsic decay of the inherently labile C3bBb complex, extrinsic decay-dissociation of Bb from the complex by beta1H, and inactivation of C3b by C3bINA. In the presence of stabilizing factors the control proteins must function in sequence, since C3bINA cannot act on C3bBb; beta1H-mediated decay of protective Bb must precede C3b inactivation by C3bINA. C3NeF, which is found in the sera of some patients with MPGN and persistent depressions of serum C3, circumvents all three controls because of its capacity to create a stabilized convertase that is relatively resistant to decay-dissociation by beta1H. The effector complement sequence is activated by cleavage of C3 and C5, which releases vasoactive and chemotactic peptides, C3a and C5a, and generates the major fragments C3b and C5b. C3b, in addition to its function in the amplifying reaction and the C5 convertases, mediates immune adherence to cells possessing membrane-associated receptors for C3b; this in turn promotes the phagocytic and secretory functions unique to each cell type. Cell-bound C5b serves to assemble the cytolytic complex C5b6789, while fluid-phase C5d generates the hemolytically inactive chemotactic complex C567d..." @default.
