Several types of cells play a role in chronic inflammation:
Macrophages: These are the dominant cells in chronic inflammation. They can engulf and digest cellular debris and pathogens. Lymphocytes: These are crucial for the immune response, including T cells and B cells, which produce antibodies. Plasma Cells: Derived from B cells, these cells produce large amounts of antibodies. Fibroblasts: These cells are involved in the formation of connective tissue and healing processes.
