Study Notes
Inflammation and Immune Response
- Macrophages and dendritic cells are predominantly involved in the late inflammatory response.
- Cytokines are cellular products responsible for regulating innate or adaptive resistance by affecting other neighboring cells.
- Natural killer cells secrete interferons that protect against viral infections.
- Neutrophils are attracted to the site of inflammation by chemokines.
- Neutrophils are the most numerous granulocyte and function as a phagocyte in early inflammation.
