Q

NOTE: Steps for alternative pathway

A
  1. C3 is hydrolyzed by water to form C3b
  2. This then binds to Factor B then attaches to target cells
  3. Factor B is cleaved by Factor D (Ba, Bb) which then forms C3bBb which is C3 convertase
  4. More C3bBb is formed which is stabilized by properdin (C3bBbP)
  5. This then form C3bBb3b (C3bBbP3b) from an extra C3b which is C5 convertase
