Complement system
The complement system is a crucial part of the immune system, consisting of
a group of proteins that work together to defend the body against infections and support immune responses. It plays a pivotal role in recognizing and eliminating pathogens, promoting inflammation, and facilitating the removal of cellular debris.
Research on the complement system is vital for several reasons. Firstly, it
helps in understanding its complex interactions with other components
of the immune system, shedding light on the mechanisms behind immune
responses. Secondly, studying the complement system aids in developing
therapeutic strategies for various immune-related disorders and autoimmune diseases.
Overall, comprehensive research on the complement system contributes
to advancing immunology, paving the way for improved treatments and
preventive measures for a wide range of health conditions.
How to analyze complement
Did you know that for accurate complement analysis, it is important that not only the correct technique is used but also that pre-analytical sample handling is performed in an appropriate manner to avoid erroneous results? Make use of our flowchart in your complement research and make sure that your complement analysis is accurate and standardized.

We are happy to introduce our new ELISA kit developed to determine in vitro quantitative C3bBbP levels in serum and plasma samples. The C3 convertase, C3bBbP arises during Alternative Pathway (AP) activation and is an essential factor for proper functioning of the complement system as first line defense against pathogens. C3bBbP can lead to rare kidney… Read more: New C3bBbP ELISA - The Key to MAC Detection: Order the Specific Antibody for MAC
New Antibody for Detection of the Membrane Attack Complex The three distinct complement activation pathways converge at the formation of C3 convertase. This leads to the generation of C3b which triggers the assembly of the C5 convertase. This cleavage of C5 initiates the lytic, or terminal, pathway. Unlike the activation pathways that depend on enzymatic… Read more: The Key to MAC Detection: Order the Specific Antibody for MAC
