What is complement how does it cause bacterial lysis what are some othere roles of complement?

Complement is a collection of proteins found in the blood that are effective against a wide variety of bacteria. Complement can cause bacterial lysis when the C5-C9 proteins are activated by C3. The C9 proteins insert into the bacterial cell membrane causing lysis and destruction of the bacteria.


What is the complement system?

The complement system is a major system involved in destroying foreign substances, enhancing both innate and adaptive defenses. 30 blood proteins that circulate in inactive form and they release inflammatory chemicals which amplify all the inflammatory responses. This leads to bacteria and certain other cell types being killed by cell lysis.

Do antibodies target foreign cells so that complement proteins can cause cellular lysis?

From the way you worded your question, you must be medically trained :) In a way, yes - by the macrophages eating them. In this way, the cells are destroyed or broken (ie lysis of cells). But there are three methods the immune system basically protects our bodies. If you go about 2/3 way through this article, you will find the three methods: preventing the invasion, 'coating' the invaders, destroying the invaders. (Invaders can also be an abnormal cell such as in cancer changes). In particular, I appreciated the graphics in this article. I hope this helps answer your question adequately.


What does lysis solution do?

Lysis solution usually contains multiple components which will disrupt cellular membranes, inactivate proteins, and stabilize a nucleic acid component.

What is the function of TNE buffer?

We use it for isolation of proteins from yeast cells as a lysis buffer


What are the body's antimicrobial substances and describe their functions?

1. Interferons: - anti-viral proteins, "interfere" with viral replication - virus infected cells release interferons and help nearby cells take defensive action - also combat tumor cells 2. Complement proteins: - group of at least 20 plasma proteins that circulate in blood - when activated amplifies inflammatory response - can sometimes kill bacteria by cell lysis 3. Cytokines: - small proteins which mediate and regulate immunity and inflammation


How do viruses leave the host cell?

They cause the cell to burst. This is called lysis.
