[Compensatory-adaptive reactions of epithelial barriers and cellular systems of local immunity]
Abstract:
Experimental data show that environmental chemical factors cause the development of standard compensatory and adaptative processes in the system of epithelium barriers and cells of mesenchymal genesis. Compensatory and adaptative shifts are carried out parallel to an increase in the quantitative composition of cells due to the intensification of DNA-synthesizing activity and cytokinetic reactions, along with raising their structural and functional activity. Correlation between a number of systems of cell protection has been established.

Cell-mediated Immune Responses
Introduction to Innate and Adaptive Immunity
Innate immunity is the body's natural, nonspecific defense system that acts quickly to protect against pathogens. It incorporates physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes and cellular elements such as phagocytes and natural killer cells. This part of our immune system provides an immediate,...
Inflammatory Response
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...
Special Features of Adaptive Immunity
The primary cell types involved in adaptive immunity are T cells and B cells. Each type has a unique role in defending the body against pathogens. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They identify and eliminate infected cells directly,...
B Cell Activation and Differentiation
When naive B cells encounter a specific antigen that can bind to the B cell receptor (BCR) on their surface, they undergo sensitization to respond to the antigen's presence. Sensitization begins with...
