Cascade Order in Classical Activation Once activated, the complement cascade is an ordered process. Each reaction leads to another reaction. This activity asks you to place the cascade reactions in the order they occur, starting with the C1.

1) C1 interacts with an antibody that is bound to a pathogen
2) C3 is split into C3a and C3b
3) C2a and C4b combine to form an enzyme
4) C1 cleaves C2 and C4
