Inflammation Flashcards
Goal of Inflammation
(inflammatory) cells, plasma proteins, fluid leave blood vessel to interstital space
Characteristics of acute inflammation (2)
Edema and neutrophils
TLR - toll like receptors
Innate immunity -> PAMP (CD14 - LPS gram neg bact)
Adaptive - mediate chronic inflammation
which PG - Mediate vasodilation, increase vascular permeability
PGI2, PGD2, PGE2
Mediator for pain
Bradykinin, PGE2
Whichs leukotrienes mediate vasoconstriction, bronchospasm, increase vascular permeability
LTC4, LTD4, LTE4
What attracts neutrophils
LTB4, IL 8, C5a, bacterial toxin
Mast Cells activated by ___, ___, ___
tissue trauma, complement proteins C3a C5a, corsslinking IgE by antigen
Mast cell –> histamine –> fcn: ____, _____
vasodilation of arterioles, increase vascular permeability (post cap venules)
Complement activation pathways
Classical
Alternative
Mannose binding lectin
Goals of complement pathways
Production of C3 convertase (C3 to C3a/b) which makes C5 covertase. C5b complex with C6-9 - membrane attack complex (MAC)
Classical pathway - complement
C1 binds IgG (2 or more near each other) or IgM
Alternative pathway - complement
Microbial product –> activate complement
Mannose binding lectin pathway - complement
MBL binds to mannose on microorganism –> activate complement
Hageman factor
Factor XII
Factor XII actions:
Coagulation/fibrinolytic systems
Complement
Kinin system - kinin cleaves HMWK –> Bradykinnin –> vasodilation, increase vascular permeability, pain
Fever
Pryogen –> macrophage –> IL1 + TNF –> COX in perivascular cells of hypothalmus –> raise set temp
