Inflammatory mediators released by immune cells generally function to combat infectious pathogens. Describe and give examples of two non-immune functions by inflammatory mediators.
Homework Answers
Inflammatory mediators are the specific chemicals that are produced by the injured cells . For example, prostaglandins, serotonin, histamine , cytokines and chemokines.
Two examples of non-immune functions by inflammatory mediators are :
I. Prostaglandins: they are involved in the control of blood pressure, contraction and relaxation of smooth muscles.
II. Serotonin : they act as a neurotransmitters and help to regulate social behavior, sleep, digestion and memory.

1.One group of immune deficiency diseases is caused by an inability of CD8 effector T cells to kill virus-infected target cells, due to defects in cytotoxic vesicle exocytosis. Because of the inflammatory response that accompanies a normal virus infection, together with the prolongation of this response due to the inability to control the infection, patients with these disorders suffer from tissue damage caused by the infiltration of effector CD8 cells and activated macrophages into multiple organs. In addition, a subset...
