Abstract
During the inflammatory response various systemic or local tissue cells are activated thereby releasing internal, mostly lysosomal enzymes. They trigger the activation of the clotting, fibrinolysis and complement cascades, the disrupture of cell membranes and tissue structures, and the release of toxic peptides (Fig. 1).
