Answer

(5) The acute phase proteins can now activate the complement system and immune cytolysis and stimulate phagocyte chemotaxis. (3) C-reactive protein recognizes and binds to phospholipids. (2) Interleukin-6 reaches the liver via the bloodstream where it causes the liver to synthesize and secrete the acute phase proteins (C-reactive and mannosebinding proteins) into the blood. (4) Once bound, the acute phase proteins act like opsonins. (1) Macrophage ingestion of microbe stimulates synthesis and secretion of interleukin-6.
