Inflammation: Immune Protection or Harmful
... Depending on the site of injury and the nature of the invader, the immune reaction will differ. Nonspecific and specific immune cells will migrate to the injured area, become activated, and begin their task of destroying the pathogen. Chemical messengers produced by white blood cells are known as ce ...
