What are the 3 categories of signaling receptors
TLR
NLR
RLR
What are the common features of PAMPs
common and not found in host tissues
What are the steps in phagocytic destruction of a bacterium
1 - recognize
2 - engulf
3 - phagolysosomal formation
4 - Destruction
what is an example of DAMPs
uric acid
what are the 5 cardinal signs of inflammation?
1 - heat
2 - redness
3 - swelling
4 - pain
5 - loss of function
What is the purpose of:
heat
increase in temperature will inhibit pathogen replication
What is the purpose of:
redness
deliver more blood to the site
What is the purpose of:
swelling
dilution of pathogens and provide wound healing mediators
What is the purpose of:
pain, loss of function
restriction allows time for repairs
Mast cells release pre-stored ____
histamine
macrophages release
pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, eicosanoids
T/F: arachidonic acid cascade acts locally
True
What are the 3 major steps of acute inflammation
1 - vasodilation
2 - increased vascular permeability
3 - migration and accumulation of leukocytes
what two factors contribute to vasodilation
histamine and nitric oxide
