The immedi- ate vascular and smooth muscle reaction to an allergen develops within minutes after challenge (allergen exposure in a previously sensitized individual), and the late-phase reaction develops 2 to 24 hours later. (B) Morphology of the immediate reaction is characterized by vasodilation, congestion, and edema. (C) The late-phase reaction is characterized by an inflammatory infiltrate rich in eosinophils, neutrophils, and T cells.

The activation of the comple- ment system (the early steps) may be initiated by three distinct pathways, all of which lead to the production of C3b. C3b initiates the late steps of complement activation, culminating in the formation of a multipro- tein complex called the membrane attack complex (MAC), which is a transmembrane channel composed of polymerized C9 molecules that causes lysis of thin-walled microbes. Peptide by-products released during complement activation are the inflammation-inducing C3a and C5a. The principal functions of proteins pro- duced at different steps are shown.
