Name that Cascade
Alternative Pathway
Classical Pathway
Diseases
100

True or False: FcERI is expressed on eosinophils

FALSE

100

Mannose-binding lectin-associated serine protease

Lectin

100

True or False: requires IgG or IgM for activation

FALSE

100

The most efficient IgG antibody activators of complement

IgG1 and IgG3

100

Deficiency of C1q

HAE

200

What is the high affinity Fc receptor that binds IgG1 and IgG3

RcgRI

200

C1

Classical

200

Activated C3 binds this protein to form the C3 convertase

Factor B

200

True or False: Only antibody-antigen complexes (not free antibodies) activate the classical pathway

True

200

Deficiency of DAF (decay accelerating factor)

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
300

What Fc Receptor provides feedback inhibition of cellular responses

RcgRIIB (CD32)

300

C3bBb

Alternative

300

Binds to the surface of the microbe - acts as an opsonin and a component of C3 and C5 convertases

C3b

300

This cleaves C4 to generate C4b

Activated C1s

300

Absence of CR3 and CR4 (shared by CD11/CD18 integrins)

LAD

400

This Fc receptor is required for ADCC (NK cells)

FcgRIIIA (CD16)

400

C5 convertase

Classical, alternative, lectin
400

Cleaves factor B when bound to C3b

Factor D

400

C3 in the alternative pathway is homologous to ___ in the classical pathway

C4

400

Most common mutations in HUS

Factor H

500

The low affinity FcERII (CD23) is found on these cells

B cells, eosinophils, Langerhans cells

500

Factor D

Alternative

500

Stabilizes C3bBb on microbial surfaces

Properdin

500

The components of C5 convertase

C4b2a3b

500

While Factor B and D deficiencies are rare, this deficiency in the alternative pathway is X-linked and more common

X-linked properdin deficiency
