The alternative pathway (AP) is one of the common opsonic complement pathways of pathogens. It is a cascade of the complement system, a component of the innate immune system that plays a vital role in natural defenses against infection. AP is spontaneously and slowly activated by hydrolysis of the internal C3 thioester bond and further triggered by contact with various protein, lipid and carbohydrate structures on microbes and other foreign surfaces, forming an integral defense mechanism independent of immune responses. As a leading international biotechnology company, Creative Biolabs has always focused on complement research. We have the expertise and capabilities to provide custom solutions for your complement research.
