Image Immune22.gif thumb right ImmuneComplex Diseases An immunecomplex is formed from the integral binding of an antibody to a soluble antigen . The bound antigen acting as a specific epitope , bound to an antibody is referred to as a singular immunecomplex. After an antigen antibody reaction, the immune complexes can be subject to any of a number of responses, including Complement system complement deposition, opsonization , phagocytosis , or processing by protease s. Red blood cell s carrying Complement receptor 1 CR1 receptors on their surface may bind C3b decorated immune complexes and transport them to phagocytes, mostly in liver and spleen, and return back to the general circulation. Immune complexes may themselves cause disease when they are deposited in organs, e.g. in certain forms of vasculitis . This is the third form of hypersensitivity in the Gell Coombs classification, called Type III hypersensitivity . Immunecomplex deposition is a prominent feature of several autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus , cryoglobulinemia , rheumatoid arthritis , scleroderma and Sj gren s syndrome .
