The complement system plays an essential role in
host defense against infectious agents and in the
inflammatory process.
Nomenclature:
a. the first component of complement is named
C1 (etc.) other components are designated by
capital letters and names: Factor B, Properidin
b. when cleaved: fragments of complement
components are designated by small letters
(e.g. C3a and C3b)

Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
Complement Pathways
3 pathways for activation:
1. classical: most specific (antibody
dependent activation, binds C1)
2. lectin binding: some specificity
(mannose binding protein, binds C4)
3. alternative: most primitive (non-
specific, auto-activation of C3)

2.IgA, IgD
3.CobraVenom
4.Nephritic Factor
8
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
Cascade:
Many of the components are enzymes that
become activated when cleaved into
two peptides
One peptide binds to the immune complex
and becomes a functional part of it
The other peptide diffuses away and can
become an inflammatory mediator
(binds to a receptor)
9
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
10
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
Lectin pathway:
➢ Lectin: protein that binds to carbohydrate
➢ MBL binds to mannose (on many bacterial
cells)
➢ MBL is produced by liver in acute-phase
inflammatory reactions
➢ Once MBL binds to target cell, a serine
protease (MASP) binds to it
➢ Acts like C1
11
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
C3a
C3a increases the inflammatory response by
binding to mast cells and causing them to release
histamine
12
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
Building the C3 convertase or C5
activation complex
 After enough C3b is cleaved, the surface
of the bacteria begins to become
saturated with it.
 C2b and C4b which make up the C3
activation complex has a slight affinity for
C3b and C3b binds to them
 When C3b binds to C2b and C4b it
forms a new complex referred to as the
C5 activation complex
13
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
The C5 activation complex
 The C5 activation complex (C2b, C4b,
C3b) activates C5 proteins by cleaving
them into C5a and C5b
 Many C5b proteins are produced by the
C5activation complex. These C5b begin
to coat the surface of the bacteria.
14
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
The function of C5a
 C5a disperses away from the bacteria.
◦ Binds to mast cells and increases inflammation.
◦ Most powerful chemotactic factor known for leukocytes
15
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
Building the Membrane Attack complex
 C5b on the surface of bacteria binds to
C6
 The binding of C6 to C5b activates C6 so
that it can bind to C7
 C7 binds to C8 which in turn binds to
many C9’s
 Together these proteins form a circular
complex called the Membrane attack
complex (MAC)
16
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
Membrane Attack complex
 The MAC causes Cytolysis.
◦ The circular membrane attack
complex acts as a channel in which
cytoplasm can rush out of and
water rushes in.
 The cells inner integrity is
compromised and it dies

C3b
 Many C3b molecules are produced by the C3
activation complex.
 The C3b bind to and coat the surface of the
bacteria.
 C3b is an opsonin
◦ Opsonins are molecules that bind both to
bacteria and phagocytes
◦ Opsonization increases phagocytosis by
1,000 fold.
Opsonins
21
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
Regulation of complement system
➢ Because it is nonspecific, several
regulatory mechanisms are involved
(otherwise there would be a lot of
“collateral damage”)
➢ Many components are very labile
➢ Many regulatory proteins block activity
through binding to target

Summary:
➢The complement system comprises a group
of serum proteins which, when activated, plays
an important role in antigen clearance.
➢Elaborate regulatory mechanisms are
required to prevent damage to normal cells.

Antibody Structure
 Antibodies are globular
proteins called
Immunoglobulins (Ig)
 “Y”-shaped
 Made up of 4
polypeptide chains
◦ 2 identical heavy
◦ 2 identical light
◦ connected by disulfide
bonds (-S-S-)
29
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
Antibody Structure
 Antibodies can also be
divided into two regions
based on their function
◦ Fab (fragment, antigen
binding) region.
 Tip of the antibody
 Binds the antigen
◦ Fc (fragment, crystallizable)
region
 Base of the antibody
 Can bind cell receptors,
complement proteins and
other molecules 30
Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
Immunoglobulin domains
• 4 (or 5) in heavy chain,

  • 3. The complement system plays an essential role in host defense against infectious agents and in the inflammatory process. Nomenclature: a. the first component of complement is named C1 (etc.) other components are designated by capital letters and names: Factor B, Properidin b. when cleaved: fragments of complement components are designated by small letters (e.g. C3a and C3b) 4 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
  • 4. C3 C3a C3b Factor B Ba + Bb Factor H Factor I 5 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
  • 6. Complement Pathways 3 pathways for activation: 1. classical: most specific (antibody dependent activation, binds C1) 2. lectin binding: some specificity (mannose binding protein, binds C4) 3. alternative: most primitive (non- specific, auto-activation of C3) 7 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.

  • 8. Cascade: Many of the components are enzymes that become activated when cleaved into two peptides One peptide binds to the immune complex and becomes a functional part of it The other peptide diffuses away and can become an inflammatory mediator (binds to a receptor) 9 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
  • 9. 10 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
  • 10. Lectin pathway: ➢ Lectin: protein that binds to carbohydrate ➢ MBL binds to mannose (on many bacterial cells) ➢ MBL is produced by liver in acute-phase inflammatory reactions ➢ Once MBL binds to target cell, a serine protease (MASP) binds to it ➢ Acts like C1 11 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
  • 11. C3a C3a increases the inflammatory response by binding to mast cells and causing them to release histamine 12 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
  • 12. Building the C3 convertase or C5 activation complex  After enough C3b is cleaved, the surface of the bacteria begins to become saturated with it.  C2b and C4b which make up the C3 activation complex has a slight affinity for C3b and C3b binds to them  When C3b binds to C2b and C4b it forms a new complex referred to as the C5 activation complex 13 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
  • 13. The C5 activation complex  The C5 activation complex (C2b, C4b, C3b) activates C5 proteins by cleaving them into C5a and C5b  Many C5b proteins are produced by the C5activation complex. These C5b begin to coat the surface of the bacteria. 14 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
  • 14. The function of C5a  C5a disperses away from the bacteria. ◦ Binds to mast cells and increases inflammation. ◦ Most powerful chemotactic factor known for leukocytes 15 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
  • 15. Building the Membrane Attack complex  C5b on the surface of bacteria binds to C6  The binding of C6 to C5b activates C6 so that it can bind to C7  C7 binds to C8 which in turn binds to many C9’s  Together these proteins form a circular complex called the Membrane attack complex (MAC) 16 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
  • 16. Membrane Attack complex  The MAC causes Cytolysis. ◦ The circular membrane attack complex acts as a channel in which cytoplasm can rush out of and water rushes in.  The cells inner integrity is compromised and it dies 17 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
  • 17. Functions of the complement system 18 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
  • 18. Amplification: many C3 molecules are hydrolyzed 19 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
  • 20. C3b  Many C3b molecules are produced by the C3 activation complex.  The C3b bind to and coat the surface of the bacteria.  C3b is an opsonin ◦ Opsonins are molecules that bind both to bacteria and phagocytes ◦ Opsonization increases phagocytosis by 1,000 fold. Opsonins 21 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
  • 21. Regulation of complement system ➢ Because it is nonspecific, several regulatory mechanisms are involved (otherwise there would be a lot of “collateral damage”) ➢ Many components are very labile ➢ Many regulatory proteins block activity through binding to target 22 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
  • 22. Regulatory proteins Complement components Complement inhibitors Complement inactivators •Opsonin- C3b •MAC C5-C9 •Anaphylotoxin s-C5a, C3a • C1 esterase inhibitor(C1s INH) • S Protein • Factor I, • Factor H • Anaphylotoxi n inativator • C4 Binding Protein 23 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
  • 23. Regulatory proteins Proteins Functions C1INH dissociates C1r2-C1s2 tetramer from C1q and stops activation of the classical pathway. C4BP binds to C4b and blocks binding of C2b Decay-accelerating factor (DAF) bind to C4b to block C4b/C2b complex formation displaces Bb from C3b accelerates decay of C3/C5 convertase. Factor I cleaves cell membrane–associated C3b into iC3b, C3d, and C3dg Factor H displaces Bb from the alternate pathway C3 convertase (C3bBb) 24 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
  • 24. • CD59 • Membrane cofactor protein:This is a cofactor for factor I– mediated cleavage of C3b and C4b. • CR1:This is the receptor for C3b/C4b and has an inhibitory profile similar to DAF. • Properdin:This stabilizes AP convertases. • Clusterin:This blocks fluid phase MAC. • S protein:This blocks fluid phase MAC. • Anaphylatoxin inactivator:This inactivates C3a, C4a, and C5a.
