Complement deficiency and its associated diseases

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1673-8640.2015.02.022

Abstract

Abstract:

Complement system, which has the characteristics of crucial immune responses and cascade reactions, not only has a crucial role in acting as a bridge between innate and adaptive immunities, but also is a part of immune regulatory network, and has important significance in the preservation of immunological homeostasis. Early studies introduced complement component deficiency. The abnormal quality and quantity of complement suggest that complement deficiency is associated with an increasing prevalence of infections and autoimmune diseases. This paper reviews the current common complement deficiencies and their associated diseases, expecting to provide new thoughts for the laboratory diagnosis of diseases.

Key words: Complement, Complement deficiency, Infectious disease, Autoimmune disease
