Introduction and OverviewThese insights emanated from the biochemical investigation of the proteins, their reaction products, and cellular receptors, and from the study of genetic deficiencies in humans and the design and exploration of experimental disease models.

Third, the biochemical properties of the C3 protein and its peptide derivatives and the physiologic effects of their interactions with other complement proteins, regulatory proteins, and cellular receptors must be underst

The First Component of Human Complement (C1): Activation and Controliator of the classical complement pathway, but also since it is the most readily defined and easily studied mediator of immunoglobulin function. Furthermore, C1 in itself is an intriguing biochemical model involving specific protein-protein interactions, induced conformational changes, and activatio
