Q

OLP Pathogenesis

A
  1. CD8+T Cell mediated destruction of Basal keratinocytes
  2. T Cell activated by antigen presenting cells, expressing MHC 1
  3. T Cells recognize antigen on MHC 1 of basal keratinocytes
  4. Upon recognition of antigen, release of GRANZYME and PERFORIN that disrupt cell membrane leading to death
  5. Also release of TNF- Alpha and IL-6 (pro inflammatory cytokynes) which influence CD4+ T Cells.
