79
what happens during a Type 1 hypersensitivity reaction?
- IgE binds to common harmless antigens.
| - narrowing airways
80
what happens during a Type ll hypersensitivity reaction?
- small molecules bind to cell surfaces and modify thier structure.
- then IgG binds to that
- Can be cause by drugs.
- can result in activation of complement, phagocytic cell or NK cells.
- can result in anaemia or abnormal bleeding.
81
what happens during a Type lll hypersensitivity reaction?
- soluble antigens + mediated by IgG
- antibody + antigen cluster together. This triggers immune effector functions and cells - causing tissue damage and pathology.
- smaller complexes are deposited on blood vessel walls attracting complement and leukocytes causing damage to blood vessels and tissues.
82
what happens during a Type lv hypersensitivity reaction?
- delays reaction
- mediated by antigen-specific effector T cells.
- foreign molecules will bind to host proteins, altering their structure and making them look different so they will be seen as foreign and nonself by the immune system.
83
why does autoimmune disease develop?
- genetic susceptibility
- Tolerance breakdown
- infection/ environmental exposure.
84
how can infections trigger autoimmunity?
- damage to a cell or tissue barrier.
| - releasing perviously sequestered self antigens, rendering them accessible to self-reactive lymphocytes that may exist.
85
what is molecular mimicry?
where a pathogen may produce a molecule that resembles a host protein. Them once in the immune system and raised an immune response, the effector cells and antibodies produced may then recognise and attack the similar host structures.
86
what is organ specific autoimmune disease?
tissue damage is limited to the few organs that express the target autoantigen
87
what is an example of organ specific autoimmune disease?
Type 1 diabetes.
88
what is systemic autoimmune disease?
tissue damage that can happen at multiple site i the body - wherever the autoantigen is present.
89
what is an example of a systemic autoimmune disease?

| Systemic Lupus erythemastosus (SLE)
90
what cells does HIV-1 kill?
CD4 positive cells (T-Helper Cells)
91
How can opportunistic infection kill due to AIDs?
- CD4 levels have dropped below critical level - immune system collapses and pt has AIDs
- so opportunistic pathogens will cause severe disease.
92
why without any tx will HIV result in AIDs?
- CD4 cells are needed to control infection.
- antibodies produced in an immune response dont bind well to intact virus particles of infected cells
- HIV rapidly mutates, so they can escape recognition.
93
why is HIV drug resistant?
rapidly mutates.
| but can be successful if taken in combinations.
94
what is the anti-HIV drug? and when does it need to be taken?
PEP.
| needs to be taken up to 73 hours post exposure.
95
where in the mouth is HIV most likely to be found?
in GCF
96
what happens to the rate of HIV in GCF during perio disease?
increases.
97
Why in saliva is HIV non-infectious.
because saliva contains anti-HIV factors that block it from being infectious.
98
what id found in saliva that meant HIV non-infectious?
- Mucins - clump viral particles together.
- Mucins and agglutinin - may strip HIV of gp120.
- Secretory Leulocyte protease inhibitor produced by salivary glands binds to T helper cells and blocks HIV-1 gaining access and infecting the cell.
