cascade is composed of serum complementproteins produced mainly by hepatocytes
complement activation occurs in 3 ways
MB-lectin pathway
acute phase protein calledmannan binding lectin (MBL)binds mannose residuesfound on pathogen surface
alternative pathway
complement protein C3 isspontaneously activated(usually by pathogen surface molecules) viahydrolysis
MBL is then bound byMBL associated serine protease (MASP) C3 directly binds pathogen surface
pathogen-MBL-MASPcomplex behaves just like C1s
leading to the formation ofC3 convertase
follows classic pathway fromthis point on
C3 forms
C3a =anaphylatoxin
C3b
C3b binds factor Band forms C3bB complex
C3bB complexis cleaved by factor D
into C3bBb
C3bBb behaves just likeC3 convertase
follows classic pathway fromthis point on
classic pathway
pathogen invades body
complement protein C1qbinds antibody-antigen complexfound on pathogen surface
C1q forms complementprotein C1s
C4b and C2b join to formC3 convertase
C2 intoC2b
C4 intoC4b
C4 into C4a =anaphylatoxin
C1s cleaves complementproteins:
C3 convertase cleavescomplement protein C3 into
C3a =anaphylatoxin
C3b also bindsC4b2a to formC4b2a3b or
C5 convertase
C5 convertase cleavescomplement protein C5 into
C5b binds C6to form C5bC6
C5bC6 binds C7to form C5b67
C5a =anaphylatoxin
cause more inflammationby binding and activatingother inflammatory cells
can lead toanaphylaxis
C5b67 bindsC8 to form
C5b678
C5b678 binds C9forming the
membrane attack complex
a pore forms inmembrane of pathogen
pore allows water and ionsinto organism causing
cell lysis
produces many molecules ofC3b which amplifies thecomplement cascaderesponse
C3b coats pathogenand marks it for phagocytosis =opsonization
complement cascadeis activated as part of theimmune response in order to:• mark pathogens for elimination by other cells of the immune system• lyse pathogens directly
both of these pathways occur without the help of antibodies = innate immune response

intrinsic pathway abnormalitiesmeasured byactivated partialthromboplastin time (aPTT)
intrinsicpathway
in response toinjury "within" bloodvessels:• damaged vessel endothelium• damaged platelets
in responseto tissue injury"outside" blood vessels
extrinsicpathway
begins by the creationof a complex between:
factor VII• calcium• tissue factor (TF)• thromboplastin
this complexactivatesfactor VII to VIIa
factor VIIa activates:
factor X to Xa
extrinsic pathwayabnormalitiesmeasured byprothrombin time (PT)
series of enzymatic reactionsthat occur within
secondary hemostasis (see map)in order to form fibrin
occurs on surfaceof activated platelets
and vascular endothelium
divided into 2interconnected pathways
begins by the creationof a complex on vascularsubendothelium between:
• factor XII (aka Hageman factor)• high molecular weight kininogen (HMWK)• Prekallikrein
this complexactivatesfactor XII to XIIa
factor XIIa activates:
Prekallikrein to kallikrein factor XI to XIa
kallikrein converts: factor XIa activatesfactor IX to IXa
plasminogen toplasminHMWK to bradykinin
leads to:• Ò vascular permeability• smooth muscle constriction• vascular vasodilation
activates complementcomponent C3 to C3a(see complement cascade map)
plasmin initiates fibrinolysisas it degrades fibrin intofibrin split products
fibrinolysis can bemeasured in lab as an Ò :• d-dimer level
IXa becomes apart of a new complexincluding:
• IXa• VIIIa• X
this complexactivatesX to Xa
Xa initiates thecommon pathwayby forming a complexbetween:
• Xa• Va• calcium• phospholipid
this complexcleavesprothrombin (factor II)into thrombin
fibrin is cross-linkedby factor XIIIa
amplifiesthe coagulation cascadeby activating factors:• V• VIII• XI• XIII
stimulatesplatelet aggregationand granule secretion(see hemostasis map)
permanent clot isformed as fibrincombines withplateletaggregates
common pathway abnormalitiesmeasured by both PT and aPTT
thrombin
main role ofthrombin is to convert
fibrinogen (factor I) to fibrin
