Correct Answers 2025\2026.
Histamine - Answer mast cell granules; immediate vasodilation and increased capillary
permeability to form exudate
Chemotactic factors - Answer mast cell granules; attract neutrophils to site
Platelet-activating factor - Answer cell membranes of platelets; activate neutrophils; platelet
aggregation
Cytokines(interleukins, lymphokines) - Answer t-lymphocytes, macrophages; increase plasma
proteins, ESR induce fever, chemotaxis, leukocytosis
Leukotrienes - Answer synthesis from arachidonic acid in mast cells; later response: vasodilation
and increased capillary permeability, chemotaxis
Prostaglandins - Answer synthesis from arachidonic acid in mast cells; vasodilation, increased
capillary permeability, pain, fever potentiate histamine effect
Kinins (bradykinin) - Answer activation of plasma protein; vasodilation and increased capillary
permeability, pain, chemotaxis
Complement system - Answer activation of plasma protein cascade; vasodilation and increased
capillary permeability, chemotaxis, increased histamine release
Type 1 hypersensitivity - Answer IgE bound to mast cells; release histamine and chemical
mediators; immediate inflammation and puritis
Type 1 hypersensitivity example - Answer hay fever; anaphylaxis
Type 2 hypersensitivity - Answer IgG or IgM reacts with antigen on cell-complement activated;
cell lysis or phagocytosis
