- Complement and coagulation cascades, organism-specific biosystem (from KEGG)
Complement and coagulation cascades, organism-specific biosystemThe complement system is a proteolytic cascade in blood plasma and a mediator of innate immunity, a nonspecific defense mechanism against pathogens. There are three pathways of complement activation:...

Complement and coagulation cascades, conserved biosystemThe complement system is a proteolytic cascade in blood plasma and a mediator of innate immunity, a nonspecific defense mechanism against pathogens. There are three pathways of complement activation:...
- Complement cascade, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Complement cascade, organism-specific biosystemThe complement system is a biochemical cascade, so named because it 'complements' the ability of antibodies to clear pathogens. It is part of the innate immune system. Complement system proteins circ...
- Creation of C4 and C2 activators, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Creation of C4 and C2 activators, organism-specific biosystemTwo pathways lead to a complex capable of activating C4 and C2. The classical pathway is triggered by activation of the C1-complex (C1q, 2X C1r and 2X C1s, thus forming C1qr2s2). This occurs when C...
- Immune System, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Immune System, organism-specific biosystemHumans are exposed to millions of potential pathogens daily, through contact, ingestion, and inhalation. Our ability to avoid infection depends on the adaptive immune system and during the first crit...
- Initial triggering of complement, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Initial triggering of complement, organism-specific biosystemComplement activation is due to a cascade of proteolytic steps, performed by serine protease domains in some of the components. Three different pathways of activation are distinguished triggered by t...
- Innate Immune System, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Innate Immune System, organism-specific biosystemInnate immunity encompases the nonspecific part of immunity tha are part of an individual's natural biologic makeup
- Lectin pathway of complement activation, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Lectin pathway of complement activation, organism-specific biosystemMannose-binding lectin (MBL), a Ca-dependent (C-type) lectin, initiates the complement cascade after binding to specific carbohydrate patterns on pathogenic cell surfaces. The MBL polypeptide chain c...
- Phagosome, organism-specific biosystem (from KEGG)
Phagosome, organism-specific biosystemPhagocytosis is the process of taking in relatively large particles by a cell, and is a central mechanism in the tissue remodeling, inflammation, and defense against infectious agents. A phagosome is...
