Formation of the Membrane Attack Complex
Description
This template shows the stepwise formation of the membrane attack complex, tracing complement proteins C7, C6, and C5b combining into mC5b-7, then adding C8 to form C5b-8, and finally C9 molecules assembling into the full membrane attack complex embedded in a pathogen cell membrane. The completed complex allows an influx of fluid through the pathogen's membrane.
