Kinins and prostaglandins are both key cells in the process of inflammation. Active complement or tissue damage can trigger these mast cells. The Kinins trigger pain in the nerve endings. Prostaglandins are like histamine and increase permiability and vasodilation in the capillary vessel. Which is the most important part of the inflammation process.
