Complement System

Description
Complement proteins become activated when they encounter antigen

Binding initiates a series of reactions that results in enzymatic cleavage of another complement protein, C3, which activates a cascade of other complement proteins

Some complement proteins enhance uptake by phagocytic leukocytes; others assemble into complexes that insert themselves into the lipid bilayer and trigger cell lysis
