Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The "complement system” is a part of immune system “that helps in the enhancement of the capabilities and ability of antibodies and phagocytic cells to kill microbes and remove damaged cells from the body. It also cause inflammation and invade cell membrane of the pathogen. It is a member of plasma protein and is activated in the body by the action of foreign pathogen that is bounded with antibody, either directly or indirectly.
