A

Leukotriene B4 (LTB4)

26
Q

Leukotriene B4 is chemokinesis for

A

macrophages

27

A

IFN gamma (important in type 4 hypersensativity)

29
Q

Cytokine __ comes from macs, fibroblasts, and resident cell/tissue and is stimmulated by endotoxin, bacteria, virus, protozoa, and toxins to stimulate ENDOTHELIAL cell activity

30
Q

how does TNF alpha stimulate endothelial cell activity for leukocyte migration

A

macs, lymphocytes, plasma cells (+/- neuts)

39
Q

__ inflammation is dominated by macrophages

A

granulomatous

40
Q

__ is a compact and organized collection of mononuclear inflammatory cells dominated by macs

41
Q

42
Q

what stimulates granulomatous inflammation

A
  1. things that resist lysosomal degradation and/or
  2. induce T cell hypersensitivity

stimuli: inert particles (silica), lipids, waxes, resistant microorgs (mycobacteria and fungi), high molec wt, Ag inducing T cell hypersensitivity

43

  3. complex granulomas (granuloma with centra necrosis +/- calcification)
45
Q

what is the difference between simple and complex granuloma

A

complex granulomas have central necrosis +/- calcification

46
