[Humoral and cellular immune response to cryosurgery of benign and malignant lesions of the oral cavity]. 1982

M Fazio, and M Airoldi, and S Gandolfo, and V Mastromatteo, and I Negri, and F Pecchio, and S Sartoris

The authors have evaluated general immunocompetence after cryosurgical treatment of 11 patients affected by benign oral lesions and of 17 patients affected by oral squamous carcinoma. Serum immunoglobulin levels, C3-C4, peripheral lymphocytes, E-rosette forming cells, lymphocyte response to PHA were analyzed before a single cryotreatment and 7 and 14 days after. In the patients affected by benign lesions the observed variations seem to suggest that in these cases cryosurgery has a merely mechanical action of extirpation of the lesion and the consequent extinction of the phenomena reactive to the same lesion. In cancer patients, cryosurgery modifies numerous immunological parameters mostly concerning the cell-mediate components.

D007111 Immunity, Cellular Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.

D003176 Complement C3 A glycoprotein that is central in both the classical and the alternative pathway of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION. C3 can be cleaved into COMPLEMENT C3A and COMPLEMENT C3B, spontaneously at low level or by C3 CONVERTASE at high level. The smaller fragment C3a is an ANAPHYLATOXIN and mediator of local inflammatory process. The larger fragment C3b binds with C3 convertase to form C5 convertase.
