Complement is primarily activated in the lung in a mouse model of severe COVID-19

Abstract excerpt

) and a mouse model of COVID-19, we identify significant serologic and pulmonary complement activation post-infection. We observed C3 activation in airway and alveolar epithelia, and pulmonary vascular endothelia. Our evidence suggests the alternative pathway is the primary route of complement activation, however, components of both the alternative and classical pathways are produced locally by respiratory...
