Many chemical mediators are found in body fluids such as sebum, saliva, mucus, gastric and intestinal fluids, urine, tears, cerumen, and vaginal secretions. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) found on the skin and in other areas of the body are largely produced in response to the presence of pathogens. These include dermcidin, cathelicidin, defensins, histatins, and bacteriocins.

The Fab portion of IgG or IgM reacts with the epitopes on the membrane and the Fc portion of the antibody then activates the classical complement pathway. C5b6789n (the membrane attack complex or MAC) then puts holes in the membrane. In the case of bacteria, MAC can put holes in the outer membrane and possibly the cytoplasmic membrane of the Gram-negative cell wall causing lysis. In the case of enveloped viruses, MAC can damage the viral envelope.
