Complement Activation Definition

The complement system is composed of 30 different soluble proteins and glycoproteins which are mainly produced by hepatocytes, including serum proteins, serosal proteins, and cell membrane receptors. Complement activation is triggered by an antibody when it binds to the antigen. It can also be triggered by certain components of innate immunity. Therefore, the complement system plays a role in both innate and acquired immunity.
