Q

This system provides a second line of defense when bacterial pathogens invade immune cells

When activated, they stimulate direct killing (lysis) of bacteria via MACs, opsonization of pathogens, and recruitment of additional cellular defenders

A

The complement system

Q

Phagocytes like PMNs and later Macrophages are recruited to the periodontal lesion and part of the innate immune response

They are recruited by several means, including:

The alternate pathway of this system, molecules like C3a, C5a, vasodilation, expression of ICAM-1

These molecules on phagocytes that recognize macromolecules unique to bacteria, like LPS for gram positive and lipotechoic acid for gram positive bacteria, allowing for activation and proliferation

This molecule that is chemotactic for PMNs and macrophages

This molecule that is chemotactic for the B cell

A

Complement Activation

Toll Like Receptors

fMet-Leu,Phe

C5a

17
Q

LPS is a TLR found where?

A

Gram negative bacteria

18
Q

Lipoteichoic acid is a TLR found where?

A

Gram positive bacteria

19
Q

Acute inflammation is characterized by:

A

PMNs

20
Q

Chronic inflammation is characterized by:

A

Macrophages, B cells, plasma cells

21
Q

Healing is characterized by:

A

Fibroblasts, endothelial cells, epithelial cells

22
Q

If chronic inflammation is allowed to persist, you have persistance of inflammatory cells and cytokines leading to tissue destruction, termed

A

Friendly Fire

23
Q

This is an acute phase response protein that is part of the innate immune system

A

C-reactive Protein

24
Q
