Previous Pop Quiz
Question 1:
You recently saw a patient with severe inflammatory periodontal disease.
Over twenty different specific B lymphocyte clones were detected in the
tissues immediately surrounding the infected periodontal pockets. After
several days the B cells in this area were again tested and several of the B
cells clones had a higher affinity (or better fit) for the same antigens.
How do Specific B cell clones recognize antigens? And why did the fit
(affinity) become higher for selected clones?
Question 2:
Pregnant ladies are advised not to receive x-rays because rapidly dividing
cells are very susceptible to DNA damage.
Describe fetal T cell clonal development. What would be the possible
consequences of x-rays on fetal T cell clonal development?
Previous Take-Home Open-Book Examination from Dr. Boackle
Along with T cells, monocytes/macrophages, and high numbers of PMNs
(polymorphonuclear leukocytes), a curiously elevated number of B
lymphocytes and plasma cells are observed in the inflamed tissues in
periodontal disease. What specific and non-specific mechanisms might be
responsible for the observed numbers of stimulated B cells in these
periodontal tissues? What are Toll-Like receptors and what are their
possible roles in periodontal disease, especially in face of the infection with
gram-negative bacteria?
P Primary and secondary signals are needed for the proper stimulation and
function of specific T cells (T lymphocyte clones) and of specific B cells (B
lymphocyte clones) that are present in the periodontal tissues. Indeed,
specific immune responses to periodontal organisms certainly occur.
Describe how those lymphocytes first arrived in the inflamed periodontal
tissues, then describe in detail the respective primary and secondary signals
that stimulate the activation and proliferation of specific T cells (T
lymphocyte clones) and of specific B cells (B lymphocyte clones)-be sure to
discuss antigen presentation. Fully explain the reasons that each signal or
contact is needed for proliferation of these specific lymphocytes.

Immunosuppression
Upon antigenic stimulation, naïve CD4+ T cells
(Undifferentiated T Helper Cells) undergo proliferation and
differentiate into cytokine-producing T helper (T(H)) effector
cells. T(H)2 cells produce IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 cytokines, and
mediate immunity against extracellular pathogens and allergic
reactions; whereas T(H)1 cells secrete effector cytokine IFNgamma and regulate cell-mediated immunity.

Immunosuppression
Recent studies have identified a novel T(H) subset, called T(H)17,
TH(IL-17), or inflammatory T(H) (THi) cells, characterized by the
production of a proinflammatory cytokine, IL-17, and regulating
inflammatory responses. Thus TH17 cells may play a role in the
pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Simvastatin (a statin) induces
IFN-gamma, IL-4, and IL-27 production in monocytes, which together
inhibited IL-17 transcription and secretion in CD4(+) T cells. Could statins
represent a promising therapeutic approach for multiple sclerosis and other
chronic inflammatory diseases? Zhang et al 2008 J. Immunol.;180:6988-96.

Treg play a critical role in the maintenance of peripheral tolerance to
self-proteins. However Tregs may also facilitate early protective
responses to local viral infections by somehow allowing a timely entry
of immune cells (natural killer cells, dendritic cells, and T cells) to the
site of infection. Concomitantly, Tregs help to prevent bystander
damage to host tissues. Lund et al., Science. 2008 Apr 24
