[Immunomorphological characteristics of lichen planus of oral mucosa]
Abstract:
Immunomorphological studies of lichen planus of the oral mucosa were carried out using a wide spectrum of monoclonal antibodies. Antigenic composition of epithelial cells, lymphocyte subpopulations maintaining destructive processes in the epithelium in various clinical forms of this disease were studied. The study confirmed immunologically-mediated mechanisms of pathogenesis, leading to destructive processes in the epithelium in lichen planus of the oral mucosa, which should be taken into consideration in combined therapy of this disease.

Lymphoid Cells and Tissues
Lymphoid cells consist of various types of immune system cells. These include B and T lymphocytes, which are responsible for producing antibodies and killing infected cells, respectively. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive...
Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
