Q

In the gingival domain, complement is present and mediates?

A

1) microbe lysis
2) chemotaxis of leukocytes
3) mast cell degranulation
4) more opsonization via classical and alternate pathways

17
Q

Extra oral lymph nodes-provide immunity to ______ _____ fluid?

A

gingival crevicular fluid

18
Q

What is gingival crevicular fluid?

**must know

A

blood fluid that enters lamina propria via junctional epithelium

19
Q

gingival crevicular fluid enters lamina propria as a result of?

A

inflammation induced by microbial accumulation at the junctional epithelium

20
Q

Does gingival crevicular fluid flow exist without inflammation?

A

Probably some

21
Q

gingivitis or periodontitis are examples of? Cause what?

A

types of inflammation of the oral cavity that allow for blood fluid that enters lamina propria via junctional epithelium (aka gingival crevicular fluid)

22
Q

what are the molecular components of gingival crevicular fluid?

A

1) IgG
2) IgA (MONOMERIC)
3) IgM
4) complement components
5) immune complexes
6) albumin
7) transferrin

23
Q

what are the cellular components of gingival crevicular fluid?

A

neutrophils, macrophages, T and B lymphocytes

24
Q
  • *What are the 4 fates of antigen that enters in or on the body?
    1. blood
    2. epidermal
    3. oral
    4. respiratory
A
  1. Antigen in Blood stream -goes to spleen
  2. Antigen at Epidermal, dermal, subcutaneous, gingival site -goes to afferent lymphatics
  3. Oral antigen - goes to gut associated lymphoid tissue.
  4. Respiratory antigen- Bronchial associated
    lymphoid tissue
25
Q

first two steps of circulation of lymphocytes?

A
  • -1. Entry of lymphocytes to lymph node or Peyer’s patches through post capillary venules at lymph node which have specialized high endothelial venules with adhesion molecules specifically for lymphocytes
  • -2. Entry to spleen through hilus to trabecular artery
26
Q

last two steps of circulation of lymphocytes?

A
  • -3. Exit lymph node through efferent lymphatics

- -4. Exit spleen through trabecular vein or efferent lymphatics of spleen

27
Q

What is the salvitory gland? MUST REMEMBER

A

IgA based immunoglobulin antibody

**DIMERIC!!!! IT IS DIMERIC IN SALIVA and monomeric in gingival crevicular fluid

28
Q

what are the 3 main oral lymphoid tissue structures?

A

salivary glands
tonsils
gingiva

29
Q

crypt epithelium is very prominent on what tonsil type?

A

palatine

30
Q

Where are plasma cells located for tonsils?

A

in a cap or corona on the outside of outer T-cell layer of the follicular structure

31
Q

The tonsils are mainly what type of Ig?

Purpose?

A

IgG!!!
*IgG also LEAVES through the crypt epithelium to coat the back of throat! Isn’t meant to protect oral cavity, meant to protect throught/pharynx

32
Q

What is different about the gingival domain compared to other lymph tissue?

A

It is NOT organized

33
Q

IgG is dominant in?

A

gingival crevicular fluid AND tonsils!

34
Q

How is gingival crevicular fluid different from saliva?

A

It has IgG (not IgA) and neutrophils aka inflammatory cells

35
Q

How do you stimulate the gingival domain?

A

extra oral lymph nodes with drainage from head and neck

36
Q

antibody in gingival crevicular fluid is a reflection of _______ immunity?

A

systemic immunity

37
Q

Long explanation of ‘extra oral lymph nodes-provide immunity to gingival cervicular fluid’. It is in 8 steps… Also find this on iPad under Quiz 5 notes… just don’t forget it

A
    1. To stimulate an immune response at an extra oral lymph node, antigen enters at the end of lymph capillaries in the mucosa of tongue, floor of mouth, palate cheeks, lips, gingiva, pulp of the teeth
    1. Then antigen drains via afferent lymphatics into submandibular, submental, upper deep cervical, retropharyngeal extra oral lymph nodes
    1. immune responses are generated in germinal centers and paracortex (T cell areas) of these extra oral lymph nodes
    1. antibody is secreted by B plasma cells into efferent lymphatics of
    1. antibody then enters blood circulation
    1. antibody then enters into gingival lamina propria via capillaries of gingiva
    1. antibody percolates into gingival crevicular fluid.
    1. therefore antibody in gingival crevicular fluid is a reflection of systemic immunity
