▷ The injured cell dissolves itself and produces leukotaxin that enhances the penetrability of capillaries, enhancing the osmosis of leukocytes → The injured cell dissolves itself into inducing LPF(Leuko-cytosis Promoting Factor) that releases the number of leukocytes → Induces phylexin that releases the temperature of the affected part and enhances the immunity → Lastly induces leukopeanin and necrosin that suppress the heat and the producing
