Question: In Severe Combined Immunodeficiency disease, where there are no functioning lymphocytes, which of the following key step(s) in the inflammation process is/are NOT working in

In Severe Combined Immunodeficiency disease, where there are no functioning lymphocytes, which of the following key step(s) in the inflammation process is/are NOT working in a person with this condition?

1.Tight junctions between endothelial cells are disrupted, allowing fluid to leak from the vessels into the tissue.

2. The phagocytes bind to the endothelial cells and exit the blood vessel by a process called diapedesis.

3. Once in the tissues, phagocytic cells engulf and destroy any microbial invaders.

4.The increase of fluids in the tissues causes the swelling and pain associated with inflammation.

5. The diameter of local blood vessels increases due to the action of inflammatory mediators.
