Study Notes
Immune Response and Inflammation Process Overview
- Mast cells, basophils, and platelets respond to injury and inflammation by releasing chemical mediators like histamine and serotonin
- Mast cells have FcR receptors which, when bound by IgE, trigger the release of preformed granules containing anaphylatoxins
- Anaphylatoxins, like C5a and C3a, are part of the complement system and are responsible for histamine release
- The complement system comprises 20 proteins, and some proteins have subunits; C5a and C3a cause anaphylatoxin release
- The kinin system, activated by exposure of collagen and basement membrane, is related to clotting cascade and fibrinolysis
- The kinin cascade leads to the activation of the fibrinolytic system and complement cascade, releasing histamine and causing bronchospasm
- The clotting cascade involves factor 12 activation, resulting in the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, initiating blood clot formation
- The complement system, comprising proteins from C1 to C9, has a cellular phase of inflammation and is involved in leukocyte chemotaxis
- C3b, expressed in the complement system, causes macrophages to identify antigens and initiate phagocytosis
- The classical pathway of the complement system involves C1qrs stimulating C4 and C2 to form C3 convertase, leading to cell lysis
- Platelets release activating factors responsible for vascular permeability and leukocyte adhesion, contributing to the inflammatory response
- Neutrophils are major players in acute inflammation, while macrophages are responsible for chronic inflammation and the release of lysosomes
