Test Overview
C3 are proteins that form the complement system which is a part of the immune system. The complement system is made up of close to 30 proteins which work together to protect the body against any infections or diseases. The main function of C3 along with other proteins is to form antibodies against infections, destroy the dead cells, neutralize the virus and bacteria, and build up the immunity. But at times they may even destroy healthy tissues leading to autoimmune disorders.
Overview
Complement component 3 or C3 is a crucial protein of the immune system. The innate immune system of the body depends on this protein to provide the body's initial line of defence against invading bacteria or viruses. The activity of this protein in your blood is determined by the complement C3 blood test.
What is C3 - Complement-3 Serum Test?
A blood test for C3 complement determines the amount of a C3 protein in your blood. C3 proteins work with your immune system to eliminate microorganisms that can cause illness.
What is the complement system?
The plasma of the blood contains 60 proteins that make up the complement system.
To protect your body from different infections, these proteins act in harmony in a certain order. The activation of one protein causes the activation of several proteins. In this process, proteins like C3 are consumed. A complement cascade describes the entire procedure.
Complement proteins like C3 occasionally mistakenly target healthy tissues. The body misidentifies its tissues as foreign and harmful due to autoimmune diseases. In response, the complement system produces antibodies to attack its tissues.
In people who inherit autoimmune diseases and infections, their bodies are less effective at eliminating bacteria.

Frequently Asked Questions
To determine whether deficiencies or abnormalities in complement system proteins are contributing to increased infections or increased autoimmune activity; to help monitor the activity and treatment of autoimmune diseases and immune complex-related diseases.
Your doctor would recommend this test for you if you have the following symptoms:
- Fungal infection
- Malaria
- Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH)
The complement system is complex and composed of a set of more than 30 circulating blood proteins that work together to promote immune and inflammatory responses. Its principal role is to destroy foreign pathogens like bacteria and viruses. The complement system can also be activated when the body makes antibodies against its own tissues that it thinks are foreign (autoantibodies) as happens in autoimmune diseases. Complement tests measure the number or activity of complement proteins within the blood.
