Why does complement only rarely kill host cells?
Soluble RCAS, most act at or near C3 convertase amplification
- Cl inhibitor: (causes C1r2s2 to dissociate from C1q)
- Factor H (blocks formation of C3 convertase)
- Factor I (cleaves C3b/C4b)
- C4b binding protein (blocks C3 convertase formation)
S protein: blocks C5b67 membrane insertion "bystander lysis"
Membrane bound RCAS, all broadly impact the three complement pathways
Complement receptor 1 (CR1): Blocks C3 convertase formation on host
membranes
Decay accelerating factor (DAF): Breaks apart C3 convertases
Homologous restriction factor (HRF/MIRL): Blocks C9 binding to MAC
