  2. Damage-associated molecular pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damage-associated...

    Once a DAMP is released from the cell, it promotes a noninfectious inflammatory response by binding to a pattern recognition receptor (PRR). [4] Inflammation is a key aspect of the innate immune response; it is used to help mitigate future damage to the organism by removing harmful invaders from the affected area and start the healing process. [5]

  3. Inflammation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammation

    Inflammation is a generic response, and therefore is considered a mechanism of innate immunity, whereas adaptive immunity is specific to each pathogen. [2] Inflammation is a protective response involving immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators. The function of inflammation is to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury, clear out ...

  5. Immune response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immune_response

    An immune response is a physiological reaction which occurs within an organism in the context of inflammation for the purpose of defending against exogenous factors. These include a wide variety of different toxins, viruses, intra- and extracellular bacteria, protozoa, helminths, and fungi which could cause serious problems to the health of the host organism if not cleared from the body.

  6. Type II hypersensitivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_II_hypersensitivity

    [3] An example of complement dependent type II hypersensitivity is an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction following transfusion of ABO incompatible blood. [4] Preformed antibody (predominantly IgM) against donor red cell antigens not found in an individual of a particular blood group (e.g. anti-A IgM in an individual with blood group B), bind to the donor red cell surface and lead to rapid ...

  7. Type III hypersensitivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_III_hypersensitivity

    Type III hypersensitivity, in the Gell and Coombs classification of allergic reactions, occurs when there is accumulation of immune complexes (antigen-antibody complexes) that have not been adequately cleared by innate immune cells, giving rise to an inflammatory response and attraction of leukocytes.

  8. Neuroinflammation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroinflammation

    Neuroinflammation is widely regarded as chronic, as opposed to acute, inflammation of the central nervous system. [5] Acute inflammation usually follows injury to the central nervous system immediately, and is characterized by inflammatory molecules, endothelial cell activation, platelet deposition, and tissue edema. [6]

  9. Nonallergic rhinitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonallergic_rhinitis

    Nonallergic rhinitis is rhinitis—inflammation of the inner part of the nose—not caused by an allergy.Nonallergic rhinitis displays symptoms including chronic sneezing or having a congested, drippy nose, without an identified allergic reaction with allergy testing being normal.
