This lecture covers the activation of complement system, including the classical, lectin, and alternative pathways, and the role of effector molecules like antimicrobial peptides and type I interferons in innate immunity. It explains the functions of complement cascade, such as pathogen lysis and inflammation, and the defense mechanisms induced by type I interferons against viral infections.
