Demonstration of new substances released during acute inflammatory processes

Bulletin de l'Académie nationale de médecine

Abstract

Various acute inflammatory reactions modify effector and immunoregulatory functions of neutrophils, macrophages and lymphocytes locally as well as at distance from the inflammatory focus. Non-specific defenses are augmented concomitantly. These phenomena have been related to low molecular weight peptides called phlogokines. These findings may contribute to a better knowledge of the inflammatory process, while phlogokines may be of potential therapeutic value.
