The complement system is part of the host defense with a number of biological effects, most of which contribute to the inflammatory reaction mainly by activation of cells like leukocytes and endothelial cells. An intact complement system is required for protection against infection and for maintaining the internal inflammatory homeostasis. However, the system is a double-edged sword since improper, enhanced or uncontrolled activation is disadvantageous and potentially harmful for the host.
