BIOL 2053 Lecture Notes - Lecture 46: Cytokine, White Blood Cell
Document Summary
Cytokines low molecular weight proteins: produced by most immune cells bind to cytokine receptors on cells that they regulate act for a relatively short time and at very low concentrations. Like receptors surface receptors on many all types - recognise distinct compounds of classes of pathogens activation of tlr sends signal to nucleus to produce cytokines in an immune. System series in blood of proteins tissue and usually fluid by signal when pathogen is present. Op son is ah0n : foreign cells complement. 43b) and inactive activated form res system molecules. Good examples . being coated components once coated arrange to by immune antibiotics they can be engulfed easily ! Inflammation pathogen binding to receptors releases cytokines that initiate inflammation by attracting leukocytes from blood infection site: contains site of damage to ensure localisedresponse and restore tissue function .
