The dramatic difference between healthy and acutely or chronically inflamed tissue is due to
the new expression of a host of proteins not normally needed by the organism. Many of the
genes encoding such proteins are turned on by NF-κB, a transcription factor that is in an
inactive form in the cytoplasm and is swiftly activated by a large variety of proinflammatory
and noxious stimuli (reviewed in
