Autoimmune Disease - ASNWER-A disorder that occurs when the body responds
to specific self-antigens to produce antibodies or cell-mediated response against
its own cells.
Complement proteins - ASNWER-A series of cascading proteins that react with the
antigen-antibody complex to restore to destroy the protein or stimulate an
inflammatory reaction.
Dolor - ASNWER-Pain; one of the four cardinal signs of inflammation caused by
activation of the inflammatory response.
Hageman factor - ASNWER-The first factor activated when a blood vessel or a cell
is injured; starts the cascading reaction of clotting factors.
, Interferon - ASNWER-Tissue hormone released in response to viral invasion and
blocks viral replication.
Interleukins - ASNWER-Chemicals released by WBCs to communicate with other
WBCs and support inflammatory and immune reactions.
Kinin system - ASNWER-The system activated by Hageman factor as part of the
inflammatory response.
B Cells - ASNWER-Lymphocytes programmed to recognize specific proteins that
when activated cause the production of antibodies to react with that protein.
Calor - ASNWER-Heat; one of the four cardinal signs of inflammation caused by
activation of the inflammatory response.
Chemotaxis - ASNWER-The property of drawing neutrophils to an affected area.
Leukocytes - ASNWER-WBCs; can be neutrophils, basophils, or eosinophils
Lymphocytes - ASNWER-WBCs with large, varied nuclei; can be T cells of B cells.
Macrophages - ASNWER-Mature leukocytes that are capable of phagocytizing an
antigen; also called monocytes or mononuclear phagocytes.
Major histocompatibility complex - ASNWER-The genetic identification code
carried on a chromosome; produces several proteins or antigens that allow the
body to recognize cells as being self-cells.
