Complement is an important component of both the innate and adaptive immune response that contributes to host defense in a variety of mechanisms, including inflammation, phagocytosis and cell lysis. Complement proteins are produced by all cell types in the CNS, and the same effector functions that protect the host from pathogens can mediate inflammation and tissue destruction in CNS diseases, l...
