4 different types
and functions
Cytoplasmic signaling
receptors
Lysis, opsonization,
inflammation
Membrane bound
signaling receptors
Stimulate phagocytosis
Membrane bound
phagocytic receptors
Sense potential pathogens
and initiate inflammatory response
Free receptors in
serum
Sense intracellular pathogens and
initiate inflammatory response
Inflammation
Tumor
Fluid enters site to attack pathogen
Dolor

Rubor
More cells into area of need
Calor
Increased heat up regulates immune response
Generalized/ Nonspecific
Response to wide array of antigens
