Questions and Answers

What is the role of monocyte-derived macrophages in inducing the inflammatory response?

Monocyte-derived macrophages help in inducing the inflammatory response.

How do neutrophils migrate to sites of infection?

Neutrophils leave the blood and migrate to sites of infection in a multi-step process involving adhesive interactions that are regulated by macrophage-derived cytokines and chemokines.

What triggers the activation of integrin LFA-1 on neutrophils during migration?

Binding of a chemokine such as CXCL8 to its receptor triggers the activation of integrin LFA-1 on neutrophils.

Why are inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-⍺ necessary during the inflammatory response?

<p>Inflammatory cytokines like TNF-⍺ are necessary to induce the expression of adhesion molecules such as ICAM-1 on vascular endothelium.</p> Signup and view all the answers

How do neutrophils squeeze between endothelial cells to reach the tissue space?

<p>Tight binding between ICAM-1 and integrin arrests rolling and allows neutrophils to squeeze between endothelial cells.</p> Signup and view all the answers
