The complement system, composed of more than 30 serum and cell surface components, is collaborating in recognition and elimination of pathogens as a part of both the innate and acquired immune systems. Once the complement system is activated, a chain of reactions involving proteolysis and assembly occurs, resulting in cleavage of the third complement component (C3). The cascade up to C3 cleavage is called the activation pathway. There are three activation pathways: the classical, lectin, and alternative pathways.

The complement cascade is a dual-edged sword, causing protection against bacterial and viral invasion by promoting phagocytosis and inflammation. Pathologically, complement can cause substantial damage to blood vessels (vasculitis), kidney basement membrane and attached endothelial and epithelial cells (nephritis), joint synovium (arthritis), and erythrocytes (hemolysis) if it is not adequately controlled.

    Human Immunoglobulin M
    		Activator
    Human Immunoglobulin M (Human IgM) is an antibody secreted by the adaptive immune system in response to a foreign antigen. Human Immunoglobulin M is the main class of immunoglobulin that is secreted into the circulation, in the early stages of a primary antibody response. Human Immunoglobulin M is a pentamer of five IgG equivalents, with 10 Fab fragments and therefore 10 antigen-binding sites. Human Immunoglobulin M is an activator of complement.

    4-Octylphenol
    		Activator
    4-Octylphenol is a hormone disruptor that has gender-specific effects on male reproductive cells, significantly reducing the mitotic index and the number of spermatogonia. 4-Octylphenol can cause inflammatory damage to fish gills by activating the complement system through the C3a/C3aR axis and the C5a/C5aR1 axis, this leads to complement activation and causes immune suppression due to the imbalance between Th1/Th2 cells and regulatory T cells (Treg)/Th17 cells, as well as inflammatory damage via the Toll-like receptor 7 (Toll-like Receptor (TLR))/IκBα/NF-κB pathway.

    CP-289,503
    		Inhibitor
    CP-289,503 is an inhibitor of the complement C5a receptor with an IC50 of 1 μM. C5a acts as an activator of leukocytes and phagocytes during complement system activation. The C5a receptor can bind to C5a, which can stimulate the upregulation of cell surface integrins and degranulation of inflammatory cells, leading to endothelial cell damage. C5a receptor inhibitors can block C5a signaling and inhibit a variety of inflammatory diseases.
