 The C3 convertase of the classical and Lectin pathways is the same **C4B2a**
-The C3 convertase of the alternate pathway is made of C3b and factor B (remember C3 is auto-cleaved by tissue damage or microbial products to start this pathway)
+The C3 convertase of the alternate pathway is made of C3b and factor B (remember C3 is auto-cleaved by tissue damage or microbial products to start this pathway). Factor D cleaves Factor B which combines with C3b to form C3 convertase. Factor B is a soluble factor circulating in the blood and is produced by the liver and other tissues of the body (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11868072/).
