[edit] Spelling

Typo in "This binding leads to *cnformational* changes in C1q molecule..."

I assume it should read conformational but I'm savvy enough on this matter to be sure... someone else please correct it and delete this.--nunocordeiro

But don't be reckless Your right though... I'll be a little bolder in the future. :) --nunocordeiro 03:14, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

There is need for this article to be both in Category:Complement system and its parent Category:Immune system - parent/grandparent conflict (P/G-C). So i removed the grandparent link. I also added Category:Complement system to Category:Acute phase proteins b/c it doesn't make sence to have the article "Complement system" in the "Acute phase proteins" tree structure and not have Category:Complement system, as a result of that change i had to remove the direct link from here to "Acute phase proteins" b/c of another P/G-C. -- Boris 17:12, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Complement system diagram

I came across the diagram I have inserted into the article while looking for diagrams for the Immune system. I added the detailed information to the diagram, hopefully it suits your needs. If more info is needed I can add it, relatively easily, to the existing diagram, let me know.--DO11.10 21:19, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other organisms?

I can't work out from reading the article if the complement system is only found in mammals such as humans, or if it is present in other organisms. TimVickers 23:32, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
