Abstract
The complement system is a vital link between innate and adaptive immunity. Recently, several investigators have implicated the complement anaphylatoxins C3a and C5a as potential effectors in Type 1 hypersensitivity reactions, including urticaria, rhinitis and asthma. Thus, complement activation may synergize with classical IgE mediated responses, and inhibition of complement may prove therapeutic.
