Week 3 Immunology Lecture Flashcards
describe gingivitis
- plaque induced
- inflammation (edema/BOP)
- no destruction of PDL and bone
- no apical migration of epithelial attachment
what epithelium is involved with epithelial attachment
junctional epithelium
describe periodontitis
- plaque induced
- inflammation (edema/BOP)
- destruction of bone
- apical migration of epithelial attachment
- not all cases of gingivitis progress to periodontitis
periodontitis is:
-plaque induced
- host related - susceptible host
- each site is individualized or a specific environment
- a % of affected population experiences severe destruction
what are the models of disease progression
- continuous model (1900s-1950s)
- progressive model (1940s-1960s)
- random burst model (1980s-2000s)
- asynchronous multiple burst model (1980s-2000s)
describe the continuous model
continuous throughout life at same rate of loss
- everyone gets perio disease
describe the progressive model
- progressive loss over time of some sites
- no destruction in others
- time of onset and extent vary among sites
- periodontal disease affects mainly posterior teeth
describe the random burst model (1980s-2000s)
- activity occurs at random at any site
- some sites show no activity
- some sites have one or more bursts of activity
- cumulative extent of destruction varies among sites
- periodontitis is different in various sites in the same individual and it is difficult to predict attachment loss
desribe the asynchronous multiple burst model
- several sites have one or more bursts of activity during one period of life
- prolonged period of inactivity; remission
- cumulative extent of destruction varies among sites
- some sites dont develop attachment loss
- bursts due to risk factors
what are the signs of inflammation
- rubor (redness)
- calor (heat)
-dolor (pain) - tumor (swelling)
- functio laesa (loss of function)
inflammation is a ______ phenomenon
vascular
what happens in inflammation:
-vasculitis
- leukocyte migration
what happens in vasculitis
- dilation
- venous stasis (congestion)
- increased permeability
- transudate
- exudate
what is the 1st defense in immunity
- innate
- non-adaptive, genetic
- kills by phagocytosis
- PMNs
- monocytes/macrophages
what is the 2nd defense in immunity
- adaptive
- production of immunoglobulins by antibodies
- highly specific
- B and T cells involved
- plasma cells produce specific antibodies to individual antigens
describe B lymphocytes
- activated B cells become plasma cells
- plasma cells produce immunoglobulins
describe T lymphocytes
- developed in the thymus
- several functions - antigen presentation
- help B cells divide; can destroy virally infected cells; can down regulate immune response
what are the 2 major forms of T cells
CD4 and CD8
describe the CD4 cell and what is recognizes
- recognizes MHC Class II molecules
- T helper cells - TH0, TH1, TH2
- help B cells divide
- control leukocyte development
- activate innate cell lining
describe the CD8 cell and what it recognizes
- recognizes MHC Class I molecules
- T cytotoxic
- destroy virally infected target cells
what do PMNs do
- phagocytosis
- produce lysosomal enzymes
what do macrophages do
- phagocytosis
- process antigens
- cytokine secretion
what is another name for B lymphocytes and what do they do
- plasma cells
- produce antibodies
what are the types of T lymphocytes and what do each do
- T-helper (CD4): helps B cells divide
- T-suppressor (CD8 and CD25): down regulates T and B cells
- NK cell (natural killer cell and CD56): kills virally infected cells
- T-cytotoxic cell (CD8): destroys infected cells
- K (killer T cell and CD28): kills infected cells
what are the components of humoral immunity
- antibodies
- complement
describe IgM
- first responder
- largest in size
describe IgG
- second responder
- most abundant
- crosses placenta
describe IgA
-salivary IgA
- a dimer
describe IgD
- co-expressed with IgM
describe IgE
- on mast cells
- allergic reactions
what immune system is the complement system a part of
innate and adaptive
what is the complement system and what does it do
a biochemical cascade that helps clear pathogens by lysis, opsonization, binding, clearance of immune complexes
what does the Fab region of immunoglobulins do
specific antigen binding
what is the Fc portion of the immunoglobulin
constant portion
what are t-suppressor cells
- now t-regulatory cells
- down- regulate T and B cells
- CD8 and CD25
- prevent autoimmune disease
what are K (killer) cells
- mononuclear cells that kill cells sensitized with antibody via Fc receptors
- CD28 cells which were signaled by CD8 cells
what are NK (natural killer cells)
- kill virally infected and transformed target cells that have not been previously sensitized
- CD56 cells
what percentage do monocytes make up and what do they do
- 5%
- activation in CT
- will become macrophages
what percentage do neutrophils make up and what do they do
- greater than 70%
- 48 hours lifespan in blood with migration to sites for phagocytosis
what percentage do eosinophils make up and what do they do
- 2-5%
- cause damage by exocytosis
- histamine release
what do mast cells do
contain mediators of inflammation such as histamine, prostaglandins, leukotrienes and cytokines
- involved in allergic reactions
what percentage do basophils make up and what do they do
- less than 0.5%
- functionally similar to mast cells
what are cytokines
- soluble, locally active polypeptides
- regulate cell growth, differentiation, function
- produced by cells of the immune system
specific cytokines may have differnet biologic properties dependent on:
- their concentration
- the cells that produce them
- the cells being attracted and acted upon
- presence and extent of ECM
what does IL-1 do
-pro-inflammatory
- stimulates osteoclasts, fibroblasts, and macrophages
