Activating the Compliment System- Alternative Pathway | Compliment binds directly to pathogen |
Activating the Compliment System- MB-Lecithin Pathway | A mannose binding lecithin particle binds directly to pathogen surface |
3 Main Effects of Compliment System | Promotes formation of pore on pathogen/marks pathogens, making them visible/inflammation |
Opsonisation | The coating of the pathogen by protein to make them visible to phagocytes |
