Any of a dozen different blood proteins that collectively form an essential part of the immune system: when faced with foreign cells, these proteins are activated one after the other, in a domino-like effect, eventually forming rings which punch crippling holes in the cell-membranes of the interlopers. This is a good thing in the case of a bacterial invader, but less desirable when it happens to a transplanted organ. 1, record 1, English, - complement%20protein

Le rejet de greffons s'accompagne de prolifération de l'intima. Chez l'animal on peut induire des lésions de type athéroscléreux par des conflits immunologiques. Chez l'homme des arguments existent : - l'activation du système du complément accompagne les grands mécanismes de l'athérosclérose et active à la fois l'endothélium et les monocytes; - les complexes immuns ont le même rôle et peuvent se déposer dans l'intima; des anticorps anti-lipoprotéines ont été décrits; - Les lymhocytes semblent avoir un rôle non négligeable, souligné récemment, dans leur relation avec les cytokines. 1, record 2, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20du%20compl%C3%A9ment
