The prolonged persistence of IgG synthesis may be due to several circumstances. (1) The initial priming and boosting of T and B lymphocytes results in large clones of these cells already sensitized to the homotypic antigen. (2) In an average environment there is a high probability that exposure to a specific antigen occurs repeatedly thereby rejuvenating the "memory" apparatus. (3) That a long-lasting built-in "memory" mechanism does exist has been shown by the persistence of antibody production in individuals first exposed to an antigen at an early age, then moved to a location where that antigen was not present.

Cooper activation triggers a series of interactions between the pathway proteins, factor B, factor D, properdin, and C3, which lead to the formation of protein-protein complexes with proteolytic activity. The pathway mediates the formation of an enzyme containing factor B, C3, and properdin, which has the ability to cleave CS. The membrane-attack pathway is set in motion after CS cleavage by the CS-cleaving enzymes of either the classical or the alternative pathways. The remaining proteins, C6, C7, C8, and C9 self-assemble with cleaved CS into a large multimolecular complex called the membrane-attack complex.
