The main effects of alternative complement activation are therefore:
  −
#To coat bacteria with iC3b
  −
#*A major target for [[Phagocytosis|phagocytosis]] by [[Macrophages|macrophages]] and [[Neutrophils|neutrophils]] via the complement receptors
  −
#To induce an acute inflammatory response via C3a and C5a.
  −
#*Chemotactic for [[Neutrophils|neutrophils]]
  −
#*Induce the production of the cytokines (IL-1&beta; and TNF&alpha;) responsible for acute inflammation</p>
