Immunity, Inflammatory Disorders, Immunosuppressive, and Anti-Inflammatory Agents Flashcards
Innate Immunity
- soluble factors (complement and cytokines)
- recruit neutrophils and macrophages
- destroy microbes
- complement
Interferons
viral infections
Tumor necrosis factors
malignancy
Transforming growth factors
wound healing
Interleukins
multiple functions
chemokines
chemoattractants
Colony-stimulating factors
hemopoietic cell differentiation
Acute Phase Reactants
- injury/infection/trauma/malignancy
- neutrophils and macrophages secrete cytokines
- liver produces acute phase reactants
- suppress inflammation
IgA
secretory and mucosal immunity
IgD
unknown significance
IgE
allergy and parasitic diseases
IgG
bacterial infections
IgM
opsonization
Cell-Mediated Immunity
- antigen-presenting cells - macrophages and langerhans cells
- activated T cell induce cell-mediated immunity
* *intracellular bacteria
* *viral infetions
* *fungal infections
* *graft-versus-host disease
* *delayed type hypersensitivity reaction
CD4 Helper T Cells
- induce B-cell differentiation
- induce CD8 cytotoxic T-cell
- produce lymphokines
- regulate erythropoiesis
CD8 (cytoxic/suppressor) T cells
destroy virally infected cells
Evaluation of B-cell function
- measure serum IgG, IgA, IgM
2. assessment of antibody function (titers)
Evaluation of T-cell function
- count circulating T cells
2. delayed-type hypersensitivity skin test
Evaluation of Phagocyte function
- CBC and differential
2. in vitro assays of chemotaxis, phagocytosis bactericial activity
What are autoinflammatory diseases?
- imbalance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors
- begins in childhood
- fluctuating episodes of fever and inflammation
- affects skin, mucosa, eyes, and joints
Immunosuppressive Therapy
- depress cell mediated responses: transplant recipients
- depress autoantibody production: autoimmune and CT diseases
- control immunoproliferative diseases
__ predisposes people to infection and malignancy (especially virally-induced such as HPV, EBV, HHV-8)
immunosuppressive therapy
C3a
inflammation
C5a
chemotaxis
C5b
opsonization
C5-9
cell membrane lysis
B lymphocytes
- make plasma cells
2. produce antibodies (humoral immunity)
T lymphocytes
cell mediated immunity
Neutrophils and macrophages
phagocytosis
Autoinflammatory Disease - Dental Aspects
- PFAPA
* *periodi fever
* *aphthous stomatitis
* *pharyngitis
* *adenitis - famiial Mediterranean fever
- TRAPS–>Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome
Systemic Non-Biological Immunomodulators
- cytotoxic/increased adverse effects
* *azathoprine–>bone marrow suppression, lymphoma - calcineurin inhibitors
* *tacrolimus–>enhance tumor development - biologics
* *produced by recombinant DNA technology
* *reactivation of viral disease, mycobacterial disease
induce B cell differentiation
CD4 Helper T cells
induce CD8 cytotoxic T cells
CD4 Helper T cells
produce lymphokines
CD4 Helper T cells
regulate erythropoiesis
CD4 Helper T cells
imbalance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors
autoinflammatory diseases
autoinflammatory diseases begin in __
childhood
fluctuating periods of fever and inflammation
autoinflammatory disease
affects skin, mucosa, eyes, and joints
autoinflammatory disease
depresses cell mediated responses
immunosuppressive therapy
depresses autoantibody responses
immunosuppressive therapy
controls/prevents immunoproliferative diseases
immunosuppressive therapy
predisposes people to infection/malignancy
immunosuppressive therapy
