inflammation complete topic i need every detail in defence and immunity mainly from abbas book
| Section | Content |
|---|---|
| 1 | Definition - what inflammation is and why it exists |
| 2 | Initiation - sentinel cells, PAMPs/DAMPs, mast cells, histamine/prostaglandins |
| 3 | Three master cytokines - TNF, IL-1, IL-6 (structure, production, signaling, actions) - with full Table 4.5 |
| 4 | Step-by-step leukocyte recruitment - selectins, integrins, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, chemokines (CXCL8, CCL2), neutrophil vs monocyte timing, bone marrow stimulation |
| 5 | Phagocytosis - receptors, mechanism, killing by ROS / NO / lysosomal enzymes (with CGD explanation) |
| 6 | Tissue repair - M1 vs M2 macrophages, TGF-β, fibrosis |
| 7 | Systemic consequences - fever, leukocytosis, acute-phase response (CRP, SAP, fibrinogen) + pathologic TNF effects in sepsis (shock, DIC, cachexia) |
| 8 | Three functional outcomes of innate immunity: inflammation, cell death (pyroptosis/apoptosis), antiviral (Type I IFNs + COVID-19 note) |
| 9 | Bridge to adaptive immunity - two-signal hypothesis |
| 10 | Master summary table of all mediators |
