Hageman complement and factor

Z Kim. Ann Allergy. 1977 Mar.

Abstract

Complement components are activated by immunologic and non-immunologic mechanisms through various plasma protein systems such as immunoglobulins, properdin, plasmin, thrombin and Hageman factor. The activation of Hageman factor, followed by complement cleavage leading to liberation of various chemical mediators, can be initiated by exposure of negatively charged tissue components due to trauma and infection.
