Special Issue: Several advances in oral immunity have been made in relevance literature. In this issue a series of review articles to be invented concerning; Oral microbiome, oral natural immunity, oral mucosal immune responses ,oral cytokines and diseases ,complement and oral diseases.In addition to research papers on IgA in Peridontitis and gingivitis as well as hypercomplementemia in peridontitis.Aims and Scope
1. Mapping oral mciroflora
2. Oral mucosal compartment
3. Role of mucosal immunity
4. Role of oral cytokines
5. IgA in chronic oral diseases
6. Oral versus systemic hypercomplementemia

The Interplay of the Local Microbiome with Oral Mucosal Immune Compartment: Minireview
Issue: Volume 3, Issue 4-1, July 2015Pages: 17-19Received: 20 May 2015Accepted: 20 May 2015Published: 29 May 2015DOI: 10.11648/j.ajbls.s.2015030401.16Downloads:Views:Abstract: The oral microbiome is formed and functioned in balanced state during health and in an unbalanced state in the disease conditions. Microbiome in the oral compartment combats the weapons of the invading microbial pathogens .Now , there are a specific microbiome signature in each of the cases of health and disease. Oral microbiome expressed; probioti... Show More -
Oral Mucosal Tolerance Versus Systemic Immune Response to Salmonella typhi Antigen
Issue: Volume 3, Issue 4-1, July 2015Pages: 13-16Received: 17 March 2015Accepted: 28 March 2015Published: 23 April 2015DOI: 10.11648/j.ajbls.s.2015030401.15Downloads:Views:Abstract: It was demonstrated that the oral vaccine application of Salmonella typhi antigen can activate low antibody agglutinin titer (mean:40±0) comparing with high agglutination titer induced by Intramuscular administration of Salmonella typhi antigen (mean 560.0 ± 51.64) as well as anti-Salmonella typhi IgG ELIZA shows high mean index value(mean = 0.695...

IgM-IgG-IgA Secondary Mixed Cryoglobulinemia Associated with Pediatric Tonsillitis
Issue: Volume 3, Issue 4-1, July 2015Pages: 10-12Received: 28 February 2015Accepted: 5 March 2015Published: 12 March 2015DOI: 10.11648/j.ajbls.s.2015030401.14Downloads:Views:Abstract: A cryoprotein was separated from sera of the pediatric tonsillitis patients. Such protein characterized as: percipitable at 4c , dissolvable at 37c and repercipitable at 4c. It showed gelatinous or crystalline texture. The immunochemical quantitation using single radial immune diffusion for immunoglobulin isotypes revealed mixed IgM-IgG-IgA isotype... Show More -
Oral Mucosal Immune Tolerance Versus Oral Immune Silencing: Mini Review
Issue: Volume 3, Issue 4-1, July 2015Pages: 7-9Received: 18 February 2015Accepted: 2 March 2015Published: 6 March 2015DOI: 10.11648/j.ajbls.s.2015030401.13Downloads:Views:Abstract: Oral mucosal tolerance a phenomenon among others in the common mucosal immune system. The mechanisms behind which are multiple. Three main opinions are being raised up .First ,tolerant cells emerged within the gut mucosa and migrates to oral mucosa suppressing immune function ,the second holds that tolerant cells evolved with in the sublingual sali...
