Interleukins can target b lymphocytes, causing them to convert into a plasma cell, and produce a specific antibody in response to that pathogen. Contains intensely staining, metachromatic granules (stain with toluidine blue. ) goes from blue to red. heparin inhibits clot formation, recall that macrophages can release tnf alpha increasing permeability though endothelium, don t want to counteract that. histamine is a bronchoconstrictor and a vasodilator. Why have vasodilation, want to slow the flow of things, not so fast/high pressue. Causes endothelial cells to pull away from each other, making open pores. Get fluid release, and as a result, localized swelling (essentially diluting the pathogen)
