Define the term major histocompatibility complex. Identify the three-classes of MHC .
Innate lymphoid cells reside primarily in tissues such as the lungs, the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, and the skin, because these sites represent the major routes of entry of pathogens into the body.
Several different subsets of innate lymphoid cells exist, and each is specialized to respond to a category of pathogen (e.g., viruses, extracellular bacteria, helminthic parasites, etc).
a) True
b) False
What is the role of histamine in inflammation?
A)Histamine increases the volume of blood flow in the area of the infection.
B)All these choices are correct.
C)Histamine signals to neutrophils to migrate to the site of infection.
D)Histamine makes it easier for neutrophils to move from the bloodstream to the site of infection.

- True/False: Neutrophils regulate the production of active cathelicidins (a class of antimicrobial peptides) by segregating the inactive propeptide from the processing enzyme that cleaves and activates it in two different types of cytoplasmic granules. These two types of granules are induced to fuse with phagosomes after ingestion of microbes, bringing the processing enzyme and the propeptide together.arrow_forwardFor the process of inflammation, account for the following: (a) the role of cohesive molecules in the extravasation procedures.arrow_forwardDescribe in chronological order the steps involved in the recruitment of neutrophils to infected tissue sites during an innate immune response. Use the following terms in your description: rolling adhesion, tight binding, extravasation, migration, inflammatory mediators, integrins, adhesion molecules, chemokines, selectins, sialyl-Lewisx, and basement membrane proteases.arrow_forward
