    C1q can also be activated in other ways, for example by binding to pentraxins such as C-reactive protein [2] or directly to the surface of pathogens. [1] Such binding of C1q leads to conformational changes in the C1q molecule, which activates the associated C1r molecules. Active C1r cleaves the C1s molecules, activating them.
