What is a complement fixation?
Laboratory tests. a complement fixation (CF) test is based on.if antibodies are formed in the body in response to the illness, then the antigen and the antibody will form complexes.The serum complement fixation.confirms the presence of antibodies.
Enzymes that assist antibodies to battle pathogens?
Complement

What plasma proteins are complement proteins?
Complement proteins are a series of immune proteins that carry out complement cascade reactions. These proteins are helping the immune system to lean up from the cells. complement proteins are not antibodies.
What are lymphocytes that produce antibodies to destroy microorganisms called?
complement fixation
What combines with antibodies to dissolve foreign cells?
complement system cells
What does complement do?
Complement plays several functions in immunity. It can poke holes in bacteria, kill bacteria that are first targeted by antibodies, or, working with antibodies, point out which bacteria need to be engulfed by white blood cells.
What is Proteins released by plasma cells that mark antigens for destruction by phagocyte or complement?
antibodies
A complement cell is capable of producing and secreting antibodies that are coded to destroy specific antigens?
No
Why is the alternative pathway of complement useful in the early stages of an infection?
It does not rely on activation by antibodies.
In addition to IgC the antibodies that can fix complement are?
IgG and IgM can fix complement by activating the C3 protein at the end of the complement cascade allowing ADCC (antibody dependent cell- mediated cytoxicity) to occur. I have never heard of an IgC antibody. In humans there are only 5 classes of antibodies: IgM, IgG, IgA. IgD & IgE.
What group of proteins mark foreign invaders and attract phagocytes to destroy them?
B cells release antibodies that attach to foreign invaders and mark them for destruction by phagocytes.
