ISSN/ISBN: 0132-3423 PMID: 8166750 Document Number: 432769
Classical and alternative pathways of complement are considered which are stringently controlled cascades of proteolytic reactions. Peculiarities of working of various components of complement are characterized, ways are described of the regulation and inhibition of the system realized in the nature to achieve the highest reliability necessary for homeostasis.
