36
Q

Which PRRs are TLRs?

A

44
Q

A

45
Q

IL-1

A

Induction of local inflammation.
Activates endothelial cells to express adhesion molecules. Induces the production of chemokines to recruit leukocytes. Also plays a role in systemic effects such as fever, the acute phase response, and the stimulation of neutrophil production.

46
Q

IL-8

A

chemotaxis

47
Q

NK cells and inflammation

A

IFN gamma - activation of phagocytic cells and Nk cells

48
Q

3 principle changes in tissue during acute inflammation

A

Increased blood supply to the affected area.
Increase capillary permeability (allows for large serum molecules to enter the tissue).
Increase in leukocyte migration into the affected tissue.

49
Q

acute inflammation phases

A

recruit / activate leukocytes, eliminate the pathogen, resolve the damage, disappearance of leukocytes from the tissue, regenerate tissue function.

50
Q

Chronic inflammation during infection

A

Most pathogenic organisms have developed systems to deflect immune responses that would eliminate them. In this case the body often tries to contain the infection or minimize the damage it causes. Persistent antigenic stimulus and the cytotoxic effects of the unresolved infection leads to ongoing chronic inflammation.

51
Q

What cells are in acute inflammation

A

neutrophils and activated helper T cells

52
Q

what cells are in chronic inflammation

A

Q

Important molecules in leukocyte adhesion and diapedesis

A

Chemokines (IL-8)
Integrins

55
Q

Inflammatory response

A
  1. Tissue damage/bacteria –> resident sentinel cells to release chemoattractants and vasoactive factors to trigger local increase in blood flow/permeability
  2. Allow influx of fluid and cells
  3. Neutrophils and other phagocytes migrate to site of inflammation (chemotaxis)
  4. Phagocytes and antibacterial substances destroy bacteria
