Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The complement membrane attack complex (MAC) is classically known as a cytolytic effector of innate and adaptive immunity that forms pores in the plasma membrane of pathogens or targeted cells, leading to osmolysis.
Detailed explanation-2: -The attack of complement is directed against the lipid moiety of the cell membrane; a single lesion at the site of fixation of complement proteins C5-C9 is responsible for lysis of a cell. There are two hypothetical models for the generation of this membrane lesion.
