is a protein produced by staph bacteria to protect against complement activation by binding to the Fc portion of

antibodies. Which of the following statements explain(s) how SpA could inhibit complement activation?

prevents activation of the Alternative Path prevents interactions with C1q prevents activation of the Lectin Path prevents activation of the Classical Path revents ability to the Fc region to bind pathogens prevents C 1 r and C 1 s activation prevents Factor D activation

prevents the antibodies from interacting with pathogens
