|
What is the complement system |
A defensive set of over 30 proteins produced by the liver and found in the blood genetic deficiency can cause genetic disease |
|
|
Proteins of the complement system act together to cause |
Cytolysis this is when proteins bind together to form a cylinder shaped membrane attack complex which inserts itself through the pathogen membrane. gram-negative cells are more susceptible to MAC because of the presence of an outer membrane and thin cell wall |
Host cell membranes contain proteins that protect them from this action |
