- Sainmhíniú system made up of a large number of distinct plasma proteins that react with one another to opsonise pathogens and induce a series of inflammatory responses that help to fight infection Tagairt "Janeway CA Jr, Travers P, Walport M, et al., Immunobiology: The Immune System in Health and Disease (18.2.2021), 5th edition, New York: Garland Science, 2001."
- Nóta It is an integral part of the innate immune response and acts as a bridge between innate and acquired immunity. It consists of a series of proteins that are mostly (although not exclusively) synthesised in the liver, and exist in the plasma and on cell surfaces as inactive precursors (zymogens). Complement mediates responses to inflammatory triggers through a coordinated sequential enzyme cascade leading to clearance of foreign cells through pathogen recognition, opsonisation and lysis.
