Inflammatory reactions and chemotactic factors.

Inflammatory reactions are mediated by a large number of chemical substances called chemical mediators, including chemotactic factors, which are released by immunologic as well as non-immunologic mechanisms. Chemotactic factors which act indirectly on target tissue can not only enhance inflammatory reactions (NCF-C) but may also eliminate the reactions (ECF-A).

Hageman complement and factor.

Complement components are activated by immunologic and non-immunologic mechanisms through various plasma protein systems such as immunoglobulins, properdin, plasmin, thrombin and Hageman factor. The activation of Hageman factor, followed by complement cleavage leading to liberation of various chemical mediators, can be initiated by exposure of negatively charged tissue components due to trauma and infection.
