Inflammation Flashcards
1
Q
what activates inflammation
A
pattern recognition receptors
2
Q
what senses inflammatory stimulus
A
resident sentinel immune cells
3
Q
what causes more inflammatory factors to be recruited
A
chemoattractants
4
Q
How do PRRs recognise pathogens
A
PAMPs pathogen associated molecular patterns
PRRs also recognise DAMPS (damage associated molecular patterns)
when stimulus is sensed leads to release of cytokekines
