LATEST UPDATE / ALREADY GRADED




1. HIV EIA (3rd generation immunoassay) 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-inflammatory. 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
