Macrophages and neutrophils both contribute to extracellular pathogen protection. Describe their common characteristics, differences in structure and function, and if one were eliminated from the innate immune response, explain which one would be more detrimental to the body and why.
Explain the mononuclear phagocyte system in detail.
“Good” bacteria help prevent C. difficile infection by occupying the sites on the intestinal wall where C. difficile could attach and multiply. C. difficile produces toxins that activate macrophages and mast cells, cause leukocyte chemotaxis and the production of chemical mediators, which leads to fluid secretion. What type of response(s) is (are) characterized by these processes? Would this be inflammation? Or would it be a cell-mediated response, specific immune response? Or humoral response with T cells perhaps? I'm having a lot of trouble identifying the biological immune mechanism.
