Magor-3 Flashcards
(35 cards)
When does immune response happen?
As soon as barrier has been breached
What is released as a result of tissue damage?
DAMPs
How do phagocytes migrate to site of inflammation?
chemotaxis
local consequences of inflammation
- increased blood flow and vasodilation - increased blood pressure and fluid accumulation in tissue
- increased leukocyte extravasation and anti-microbial activity
- swelling and local damage by anti-microbial processes
Local consequences of inflammation (with latin)
- increased heat and redness (calor and rubor)
- swelling (tumor)
- pus
- pain (dolor)
Are PAMPs necessary for inflammation to occur?
No
What is inflammation usu. associated with?
tissue damage
How do APCs detect tissue damage?
by sensing for DAMPs
What do necrotic cells release and what is the result?
- danger signals
- activates tissue macrophages
What do activated macrophages recruit?
neutrophils and monocytes
How do activated macrophages recruit other immune cells?
producing inflammatory cytokines and chemokines
Integrin
proteins that mediate stronger cell-cell adhesion
What first slows leukocyte down through blood vessel?
weak mucin-selectin interactions
Purpose of making leukocyte go to rolling mode
keeping it close to endothelium as possible and can respond to chemokines
What does the recruited leukocyte do after it senses chemokines?
makes integrins (LFA-1)
What happens after leukocytes developed integrins?
They attach to ICAM-1 on blood vessels and diapedesis can happen
When do monocytes differentiate into tissue macrophages?
When they enter the tissue
4 phases of inflammation
- initiation
- amplification
- regulation
- repair (homeostasis)
What do neutrophil granule contents promote?
monocyte extravasation
Functions of apoptotic neutrophils
- monocyte recruitment
- soak up excess chemokines
What program initiates in macrophages during its uptake of apoptotic neutrophils?
pro-resolution program
What chemicals does the pro-resolution program increase?
TGF-beta and IL-10
What in the macrophage promotes repair?
growth factors
What does TGF-beta and IL-10 induce on macrophages?
anti-inflammatory response
