Tissue Response to Injury
InflammationTriggers:Infectious organismsTraumaObjectives: Remove the triggerRemove any dead tissue End Result: Resolves when harmful stimulus is eliminatedAs Inflammation ends, Repair starts

Leukocyte Recruitment
Leukocyte RecruitmentMargination: Slow blood flowWhite cells redistribute along periphery of lumen
Leukocyte RecruitmentRolling: Mediated by Selectins and their LigandsHistamine and Thrombin: Induce P-Selectin expression TNF and IL-1: Induce E-selectin and L-Selectin ligandLeukocytes: Express L-selectin and Ligand for E and P Selectins
Leukocyte RecruitmentActivation: Chemokines (IL-8, PAF) activate leukocytesIntegrins (VLA-4, LFA-1) converted to high affinity states
Leukocyte RecruitmentAdhesion: Mediated by Integrins and their LigandsTNF, IL-1: Induce endothelial expression of ligands for Integrins VLA-4: VCAM-1LFA-1:  ICAM-1
Leukocyte RecruitmentDiapedesis: Chemokines stimulate adherant leukocytes to migrate through inter-endothelial spacesPECAM-1 (CD31)
