过去十多年来,补体系统的作用——作为一种调节抗原与抗体间相互作用的后果的效应机理已经发展到几种其它功能方面。这是继观察到补体许多成分,除了诱发细胞死亡和溶解之外,还有其它生物学特性,例如免疫粘附、病毒中和作用、趋化性、非细胞毒溶酶体的释放和诱发嗜硷性细胞和胞大细胞释放组织胺等而产生的。属于补体系统的其它特性与骨的代谢,抗体产生和细胞增殖有关。 The role of the complement system for more than a decade has evolved into several other functional aspects as an effector mechanism that regulates the consequences of antigen-antibody interactions. This is followed by the observation that many components of the complement, in addition to inducing cell death and lysis, have other biological properties such as immunoadherence, virus neutralization, chemotaxis, release and induction of non-cytotoxic lysosomes Alkaline cells and macrophages release of histamine and other arising. Other characteristics belonging to the complement system are related to bone metabolism, antibody production and cell proliferation.
