Answer 1

I think that the complement system is a group of antimicrobial proteins that act together in a cascade fashion. Complement system is a part of the immune system, it has plasma proteins that can be activated directly by pathogens or indirectly by pathogen-bound antibody, leading to a cascade of reactions that occurs on the surface of pathogens and generates the active components that results to various effector functions.
