The complement system is a form of innate immunity that plays a key role in host defense. However, if not properly regulated, complement has the potential to cause significant host tissue injury, leading to autoimmune and inflammatory diseases in humans. In this talk, I will review the recent progress in research, including our own using various gene-targeted mouse models, that has shed new light on the pathogenesis of complement-mediated human diseases. I will also discuss emerging therapeutic opportunities where new and mechanism-based treatments are being developed and tested in pre-clinical studies for these disorders.
