4 important questions on Brief introduction into immunology (Background reading) - The innate immune system
What is the mechanism of a phagocyte?
Phagocytosis has 2 major roles:
- Destruction of the pathogen and the simultaneous secretion of messenger molecules that trigger supportive responses such as inflammation, Messenger cells
- can have local effect, due to chemotaxis and attraction of many phagocytic cells
- may also induce increased permeability permitting leukocytes to have greater access to the area as well as natural killer (NK) cells
Serum amyloid A and C-reactive protein (CRP) can have a rise in the blood as much as 2000x within hours after injury or infection. This fast response is regulated by:
