  • Histamine + Bradykinin
  • Cytokines
  • Prostaglandins
  • Metalloprotienases
74
Q

what is the function of Histamine and Bradykinin?

A

vasodilation, they increase vascular permeability.

75
Q

A

they are soluble proteins that are secreted by cells. They transmit signals, and coordinate inflammatory and immune responses.
- amplify inflammatory responce (eg IL-1)

76

80
Q

what happens during a Type ll hypersensitivity reaction?

A
  • small molecules bind to cell surfaces and modify thier structure.
  • then IgG binds to that
  • Can be cause by drugs.
  • can result in activation of complement, phagocytic cell or NK cells.
  • can result in anaemia or abnormal bleeding.
81
Q

what happens during a Type lll hypersensitivity reaction?

A
  • soluble antigens + mediated by IgG
  • antibody + antigen cluster together. This triggers immune effector functions and cells - causing tissue damage and pathology.
  • smaller complexes are deposited on blood vessel walls attracting complement and leukocytes causing damage to blood vessels and tissues.
82
Q

what happens during a Type lv hypersensitivity reaction?

A
  • delays reaction
  • mediated by antigen-specific effector T cells.
  • foreign molecules will bind to host proteins, altering their structure and making them look different so they will be seen as foreign and nonself by the immune system.
83
Q

why does autoimmune disease develop?

A
  • genetic susceptibility
  • Tolerance breakdown
  • infection/ environmental exposure.
84
Q

how can infections trigger autoimmunity?

A
  • damage to a cell or tissue barrier.

- releasing perviously sequestered self antigens, rendering them accessible to self-reactive lymphocytes that may exist.

85
Q

what is molecular mimicry?

A

where a pathogen may produce a molecule that resembles a host protein. Them once in the immune system and raised an immune response, the effector cells and antibodies produced may then recognise and attack the similar host structures.

86
Q

what is organ specific autoimmune disease?

A

tissue damage is limited to the few organs that express the target autoantigen

87
Q

what is an example of organ specific autoimmune disease?

A

Type 1 diabetes.

88
Q

tissue damage that can happen at multiple site i the body - wherever the autoantigen is present.

89
Q

what is an example of a systemic autoimmune disease?

A

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Systemic Lupus erythemastosus (SLE)

90
Q

what cells does HIV-1 kill?

A

CD4 positive cells (T-Helper Cells)

91
Q

How can opportunistic infection kill due to AIDs?

A
  • CD4 levels have dropped below critical level - immune system collapses and pt has AIDs
  • so opportunistic pathogens will cause severe disease.
92
Q

why without any tx will HIV result in AIDs?

A
  • CD4 cells are needed to control infection.
  • antibodies produced in an immune response dont bind well to intact virus particles of infected cells
  • HIV rapidly mutates, so they can escape recognition.
93
Q

why is HIV drug resistant?

A

rapidly mutates.

but can be successful if taken in combinations.

94
Q

what is the anti-HIV drug? and when does it need to be taken?

A

PEP.

needs to be taken up to 73 hours post exposure.

95
Q

where in the mouth is HIV most likely to be found?

A

in GCF

96
Q

what happens to the rate of HIV in GCF during perio disease?

A

increases.

97
Q

Why in saliva is HIV non-infectious.

A

because saliva contains anti-HIV factors that block it from being infectious.

98
Q

what id found in saliva that meant HIV non-infectious?

A
  • Mucins - clump viral particles together.
  • Mucins and agglutinin - may strip HIV of gp120.
  • Secretory Leulocyte protease inhibitor produced by salivary glands binds to T helper cells and blocks HIV-1 gaining access and infecting the cell.
