22
Q

what are the 4 steps of recruitment of leukocytes

A

1 - upregulation of adhesion molecules
2 - integrin activation by chemokines
3 - stable adhesion
4 - migration through endothelium

23
Q

how do plasma proteins play a role in inflammation?

28
what binds to the phagocyte scavenger receptor
SAP & CRP
29
what binds to the phagocyte C1q receptor
MBL
30
what is the marker for inflammation
CRP
31
patients with high CRP levels have ___
serious gum disease
32
the complement system consists of several ___ produced by the liver
heat sensitive plasma proteins
33
all pathways of the complement system lead to ___ into ___ by ___
- cleavage of C3 - C3a (anaphylatoxin) & C3b (opsonin) - C3 convertase
34
___ & ___ induce local inflammatory responses
- C3a - C5a
35
___ & ___ are increased in local inflammatory responses
- vascular permeability - microbicidal activity
36
which process triggered by opsonization leads to microbe ingestion?
phagocytosis
37
what is defined as the process of ingestion of opsonin-coated or receptor-bound microbes
phagocytosis

46
what are networks of extracellular fibers composed of DNA that have high local concentrations of antimicrobial components that bind and kill microbes extracellularly
neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)
47
what role do liver-produced acute phase reactant proteins play during an infection? a - they induce cytokine production by innate cells which recruit more leukocytes at the infection sites. b - they mediate phagocytosis by opsonizing the microbe c - they induce fever which lower DNA & RNA replication necessary for microbes to divide d - they directly mediate microbe killing e - they increase vascular permeability and allow inflammatory cells to enter the tissue
