ANS can use urine, saliva, or serum (most accurate), need to wait until
12 weeks post exposure to see antibodies, >99% accurate
4th generation immunoassay- "gold
standard" measures P24 antigen
can test 10 days post exposure
2. Mast cell
ANS Cellular bags of granules located in loose connective tisssue close
to blood vessels. Activation initiates inflammatory process.
3. Histamine
ANS Causes vasodilation, increases vascular permeability, increases
blood flow to the site of injury- causes erythema and swelling.
4. Cytokines
ANS Soluble factors that contribute to the regulation of innate or
adaptive resistance by affecting other neighboring cells. Can be pro-
inflammatory or anti-in- flammatory. Can react quickly or be more
,delayed.
5. Leukotrines
ANS Released when mast cells degranulate, prolong the inflammatory
process. Cause vasodilation, attract neutrophils, monocytes, and
eosinophils.target of inhibition for singular.
6. Prostaglandins
ANS Released when mast cells degranulate, are produced by the
arachidonic pathway. Cause vasodilation, platelet aggregation at site of
injury, pain, and fever.
7. Chemotactic factors
ANS Biochemical substance that attracts leukocyte to the site of
inflammation
8. Neutrophils
ANS Predominant leukocyte at work during the early stages of acute
inflammation
9.Monocytes
ANS Become macrophages when entering the tissue, responsible for
pre- senting antigens to the CD4 cell which triggers T-cell immunity and
B-cell immunity. Releases additional cytokines IL1, IL6, TNF.
, 10.Cytokine IL1 function
ANS Causes fever, activates phagocytes & lymphocytes and also
increases the release of IL6a
11.Cytokine IL6 function
ANS Stimulates production of acute phase reactants and promotes
growth and stimulation of RBCs
12.Cytokine TNF function
ANS Causes fever, increases synthesis of proinflammatory proteins by
liver, causes muscle wasting, induces thrombosis
13.Cytokine growth factor function
ANS Promotes production and maturation of neu- trophils
14.Complement
ANS Functions include bacterial lysis, vasodilation and increased vas-
cular permeability, triggers mast cell degranulation, chemotaxis, and
opsonization.
15.Kinin
ANS Converted to bradykinin which is responsible for pain and
chemotaxis, and it increases vascular permeability and vasodilation.
