Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The activation of the classical complement pathway is stimulated by the formation of an antigen-antibody complex. This triggers a cascade of events that leads to the formation of C3a and C5a, which are powerful inflammatory mediators. Lysis of bacterial cells (A), monocyte diapedesis (C), and release of histamine (D) can also contribute to an inflammatory response, but do not specifically stimulate the classical complement pathway.
