Immune Response and Inflammation

Matic Response

• Delayed by hours due to the continued activity of multiple inflammatory cells
• T cells play a crucial role in the inflammatory process

Inflammatory Process

• Antigen-presenting cells present various allergenic antigens to chronically activated T helper cells
• T helper cells secrete multiple cytokines, maintaining and intensifying the local inflammatory response
• Other inflammatory cells, such as mast cells and eosinophils, respond to T cells' cytokines, producing cytokines that amplify the cellular response and inflammatory reaction

Migration and Inflammation

• Inflammatory cells migrate from the circulation into the pulmonary vasculature and airway submucosa
• The arachidonic acid pathway is a central component of the inflammatory process, leading to the generation of leukotrienes

Diagnosis

• Physical examination is a diagnostic method
• Lung function tests are used to diagnose respiratory issues

This quiz covers the roles of T cells, antigen-presenting cells, and other inflammatory cells in the immune response and inflammatory process.
