(1) Can someone explain why C3 deficiency can lead to increased susceptibility to type III hypersensitivity reactions (p. 199 FA 2016)?

- I get that C3 deficiency leads to lack of C3b, so less opsonization, so higher incidence of infection with encapsulated bacteria.
- However, I am missing the link to hypersensitivity reactions, please help!
Best,
