Which of the following is a characteristic of complement?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Complement plays a role in the lysis of target cells coated with specific antibodies through the formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC). Option A is incorrect because IgE is involved in the activation of mast cells and basophils during an allergic reaction, not complement. Option B is also incorrect because complement can be activated through alternative and lectin pathways in addition to the classical pathway. Option D is partly correct since decay-accelerating factor (DAF) is a complement regulatory protein that inhibits complement activation but does not enhance it.
