Chapter 5 & 9 Flashcards
Inhibits bacterial adherence and Promotes agglutination:
Salivary IgA
Necrosis and sloughing of gingival tissue:
“NUG” Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis
Outer membrane of Gram (-) organisms
Endotoxins
Elicit strong immune responses
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS):
- Recognized by TLR4/CD14/MD-2 complex
Bacterial evasion of host responses
Inhibition of Neutrophils
Production of IgA and IgG proteases
Cytotoxic effects
Inhibition of Neutrophils occurs via:
Leukotoxin production Chemotaxis inhibitors Impairment of PMN adherence and phagocytosis Inhibition of Oxygen radical activity Inhibition of Lysosomal degranulation Degradation of Lactoferrin
Indirect injury by plaque microorganisms occurs via:
Endogenous mediators of inflammation
Endogenous mediators of inflammation include:
Cytokines Vasoactive amines Plasma proteases Neutral proteases Arachidonic acid metabolites Oxygen-derived metabolites Lysosomal acid hydrolases
Ag/Ab complexes:
Inactivate toxins
Activate complement-mediated bacteriolysis
T cell functions include:
Cytotoxic(ity)
helper T cell (assist T and B cell response to Ag)
suppressor T cell (for T and B cells)
Lymphokines
Macrophage functions include
Processing and presenting Ag to lymphocytes
Producing: Collagenase, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-13, PGE2
IL-1 Functions include:
Promoting T cell helper function Inhibiting T cell suppressor function Promoting B cell maturation Activating Macrophages to produce PGE2 Activating Osteoclasts
PGE2 Functions include:
Vasoactivity
Edema, pain, fever
Neutrophil and Monocyte chemotaxis
Osteoclast activation
