Abstract: | Complement is a physiological constituent of bloodplasma. In its activated state complement is able to stimulate various cells for special performance, e.g., monocytes, macrophages, granulocytes, platelets, but also T- and B-lymphocytes. The biological functions of the complement system cover the following areas: induction of inflammation, defence against microbial infections, handling of immune complexes, and modulation of the immune response. |
