Complement enhances the pathogenesis in autoinflammation via induction of a pro-inflammatory microenvironment
The complement system is a complex part of the innate immune system and consists of more than thirty different proteins present in the plasma and on cell membranes. Complement can be activated via three different pathways and may play a role in triggering the NLRP3 inflammasome [1]. Inflammasomes are essential components in innate immunity.
