Activation occurs through a series of enzymatic reaction

characterized by limited proteolysis of the substrates and

proceeds in a cascade fashion

%

• Occurrence of the first episode of meningitis at

the median age of 14 years as opposed to the age

of 2-3 years of the normal population

• high rates of recurrences with 2 or more episodes

of meningitis

• mild clinical course of infection with a low

mortality rate

• the disease is frequently caused by rare

meningococcal serogroups (x, y, w135)

CONCLUSIONS

Complement has evolved as a highly sophysticated

system able

• to play an important role in host protection against

pathogens and endogenous danger

• to exert physiological functions that contribute to

angiogenesis and tissue development and

regeneration

• to induce tissue damage under several pathological

conditions that can be controlled by neutralizing

antibodies.
