Light microscope images of cells were taken after 4 h or 8 h pre-incubation in normal (pH7.4) or weakly acidic (pH5.5) media. Images of cells from the same wells were taken after subsequent incubation with LPS at pH7.4 for 24 h. Weakly acidic pH reduces inflammatory cytokine expression in airway epithelial cells: Hackett AP, Trinick RE, Rose K, Flanagan BF, McNamara PS - Respiratory research (2016). Not altered. CC.
The inflammatory response to Infection occurs when tissues are injured by bacteria, trauma, toxins, heat, or any other cause.
Examples of inflammatory responses to Infection include:
- Cytopathic-cytoproliferative reaction
- Tissue necrosis
- Suppurative inflammation
- Granulomatous inflammation
- Chronic inflammation and scarring
