500

In the context of liver transplantation, antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is characterized by the interaction of donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) with the graft, leading to the activation of the complement system. Name the initial complement component that binds to the immune complexes and the downstream effect it has, specifically describing how it ultimately contributes to graft injury through the membrane attack complex (MAC).

What is C1, and it binds to the immune complexes of DSAs and donor antigens, initiating the classical complement pathway. This activation leads to a cascade involving C4 and C2, producing C3 convertase that generates the anaphylatoxin C3a and opsonin C3b. Continued activation results in the formation of C5 convertase, which cleaves C5 to C5a and C5b, leading to the assembly of the membrane attack complex (C5b-9), causing direct lysis of graft endothelial cells and contributing to graft injury and dysfunction.
