Ag - Ab binding may result in?
The binding of antigen and antibody may result in the formation of immune complexes, which can activate complement system leading to inflammation and tissue damage. Additionally, it can also lead to neutralization or opsonization of the antigen, facilitating its clearance by immune cells.
Is dermatosis any condition of skin associated with inflammation?
No, dermatitis is skin inflammation.
What is catarrhal inflammation?
a surface inflammation associated with greatly increased secretion of clear mucus.
Producing or associated with the generation of pus is?
Inflammation
What term is associated with inflammation of the bone?
Ostitis
Is C5a considered an opsonin?
Yes, C5a is considered an opsonin, although it primarily functions as a potent inflammatory mediator rather than a classic opsonin like antibodies or complement component C3b. C5a enhances phagocytosis by attracting immune cells to the site of infection and promoting their activation, which can indirectly facilitate opsonization. However, its primary role is in inflammation and chemotaxis rather than direct opsonization.
What is the difference between opsonization and neutralization?
Opsonization involves an antibody binding to a pathogen itself while neutralizing invovles an antibody binding to a toxin, AKA something the pathogen produces.
Which of the following is an effect of complement activation?
Complement activation can lead to direct killing of pathogens by forming pores in their cell membranes, promoting inflammation by recruiting immune cells to the site of infection, and facilitating clearance of immune complexes and cellular debris.
How does phlebitis differ from thrombophlebitis?
Phlebitis = inflammation of a veinThrombophlebitis = inflammation of a vein caused by or associated with a formation of a thrombus (blood clot)
What chemical causes inflammation?
Stool (poo) is the chemical substance produced by the body that is associated with the pain of inflammation, as inflammation is pain in your backside.
What is the function of the complement cascade called opsonization?
Opsonization is a process in which pathogens are marked for destruction by phagocytic cells. It involves the binding of complement proteins to the surface of the pathogen, making it easier for phagocytes to recognize and engulf the pathogen.
What hormonal agents reduce inflammation associated with chronic lung disease?
corticosteroids
