Describe the role of the complement system in innate immunity. Students will extensively examine the three pathways that make up complement system. They are required to demonstrate an understanding of how these three pathways are activated ultimately leading to the formation of the membrane attack complex and eventual lysis of the invading pathogen.
Learners will synthesize their findings in a summary presentation of at least 10 slides that will be shared with their peers by the specified due date, when they will then compare and contrast the feedback from their research in this discussion forum. Learners will be evaluated against the criteria outlined in the assignment and discussion forum rubric.
