    Study Notes

    Complement Protein Synthesis

    • Hepatocytes are the primary cells responsible for synthesizing complement proteins.
    • Complement proteins constitute approximately 5-10% of total serum proteins in normal serum.

    Other Sources of Complement Proteins

    • Besides hepatocytes, macrophages and certain epithelial cells also produce significant amounts of complement proteins.

    Response to Infection and Vaccination
