Complexity of complement activation in sepsis
The complement system is one of the key players in the defence against infections. Its activation during the innate immune response leads to the generation of several proteins that contribute to the lysis and opsonization of microorganisms, regulate inflammatory reactions and bridge innate immunity with the subsequent adaptive immune response. Complement is also activated in overwhelming bacter...

Sepsis and complement
Th e complement system is a crucial part of the body’s defense mechanism against bacterial infection and is vital for protecting individuals against any disturbance of homeostasis associated with the appearance of foreign antigens [1]. Activation of the complement system can be initiated through the classic pathway antigen-antibody complexes or through the alternative and lectin pathways by non...
متن کاملStages of meningococcal sepsis simulated in vitro, with emphasis on complement and Toll-like receptor activation.
The clinical presentation of meningococcal disease is closely related to the number of meningococci in the circulation. This study aimed to examine the activation of the innate immune system after being exposed to increasing and clinically relevant concentrations of meningococci. We incubated representative Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B (ST-32) and serogroup C (ST-11) strains and a lipopol...
