D C3 deficiencies are clinically most severe and are often associated with immune complex disease and susceptibility to recurrent bacterial infections. This is due to the fact that C3 plays a central role in activation of C5 and formation of MAC and is important for both classical and alternative pathway. C3 plays a critical role in converting a humoral antibody response in to an effective host defense mechanism. Products of C3 or opsonic fragments of C3 have receptors on various cells which help in phagocytosis of opsonized pathogens.
