	Classical complement pathway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The classical pathway of activation of the complement system is a group of blood proteins that mediate the specific antibody response.
		It is the binding of a specific part of the antibody molecule to the C1 component that initiates this pathway.
		Upon the binding of C1 to immune complexes by virtue of the affinity of C1q for immunoglobulins (specifically IgM and IgG), the controlling action of C1-In is overcome and C1q effects activation of C1r2s2.

	Complement
		Both classical and alternative pathways lead to the activation of C5 convertase and result in the production of C5b which is essential for the activation of the membrane attack pathway.
		Classical pathway (Figure 1) normally requires a suitable Ab bound to antigen (Ag), complement components 1, 4, 2 and 3 and Ca and Mg cations.
		This pathway is initiated by three proteins: a mannan -binding lectin (MBL), also known as mannan-binding protein (MBP) which interacts with two mannan-binding lectin-associated serine proteases (MASP and MADSP2), analogous to C1r and C1s.

	JGV Direct - Review: Virus complement evasion strategies (H. W. Favoreel and others)
		Complement evasion is of particular importance for viruses, since complement activation is a crucial component of innate immunity (alternative and mannan-binding lectin activation pathway) as well as of adaptive immunity (classical, antibody-dependent complement activation).
		Activation of the complement cascade via the classical (A), lectin (B) or alternative (C) pathway results in the initiation of the terminal complement pathway (D), leading to the formation of membrane attack complexes.
		The classical activation pathway of complement involves binding of complement protein C1q either to antibody–antigen complexes or, occasionally, directly to the surface of certain pathogens.

	How Complement Works
		The classical pathway of the complement system is a major effector of the humoral branch of the human immune response.
		The trigger for the classical pathway is either IgG or IgM antibody bound to antigen.
		The lysis of cells via the complement pathways is thus critical for both innate and specific immunity.

	Classical pathway
		The classical pathway of complement activation is a mediator of the specific antibody response.
		C5b is critical in initiating the lytic sequence of reactions, and plays an important role in directing the association of further late-acting components of the complement system which interact to produce a lesion in the bacterial surface leading to bacterial death (20).
		Thus, under most conditions the concentration of the C4bp greatly exceeds the small amounts of C4b generated by the activation of the classical pathway and C4b is therefore inactivated.

		Although at least 21 different serum proteins have thus far been identified as part of the classical complement pathway, one can look at it as a pathway that is primarily activated by either IgG or IgM binding to an antigen (def) and involves 11 major serum protein components.

		By definition, solar emergy is only conserved along a pathway of transformations until the ability to do work of the final energy remaining from its sources is used up (usually in interactive feedbacks).

		To determine whether interference with complement functions may contribute to the immunomodulatory activity of beta-glycyrrhetinic acid, its effects on the classical and alternative activation pathways of human complement were investigated.
		We found that beta-glycyrrhetinic acid is a potent inhibitor of the classical complement pathway (IC50 = 35 microM), whereas no inhibitory activity was observed towards the alternative pathway (IC50 > 2500 microM).
