Mechanisms of inflammation Flashcards
what are the five cardinal signs of inflammation
calor rubor tumor dolor functio laesa
what is the process of inflammation
PAMPS/DAMPS -> PRR -> immune cells -> cytokine response _> innate immunity/ inflammatory response -> adaptive immunity
what cells are involved with acute respiratory distress syndrome
neutrophils
what cells are involved with asthma
eosinophils; IgE
what cells are involved with septic shock
cytokines
which type of inflammation is mainly nuetrophils
acute
which type of infection is primarily monocytes, macrophages, and lymphocytes
chronic
what are the five steps of acute inflammation
- recognition of antigen/damage
- recruitment of leukocytes
- leukocytes/proteins destroy agent
- inflammation resolves
- damaged tissue is replaced
what is hemostasis
vasoconstriction, platelet activation, clot formation
what starts recruitment and activation of leukocytes
hemostasis
which cells recognize offending agents
mast cells, dendritic cells, macrophages and then they recruit neutrophils macrophages, T and B cells
what is the primary cell signaling pathway associated with inflammation
NFkB
what activates NFkB
GF, IL-1, TNF, LPS
what are the first two steps in leukocyte recruitment
vasodilation, increase permeability
what is the difference in transudate and exudate
Transudate is fluid pushed through the capillary due to high pressure within the capillary. Exudate is fluid that leaks around the cells of the capillaries caused by inflammation.
what is margination
when selectins and iCAMS cause leukocyts to adhere to blood vessel walls
CXC chemokines attract
neutrohils
CXCL7 is produced by
platelets
which chemokines compete with HIV
CCL3 and CCL4
what is the receptor for endotoxin
TLR4
