THE ROLE OF STUDYING LOCAL IMMUNITY IN CHILDREN WITH CONGENITAL CLEFT LIP AND PALATE

Аннотация

Despite the large number of surgical methods for eliminating defects of the palate, the authors note the development of anatomical and functional disorders in the
future. Surgical intervention on the tissues of the hard and soft palate leads to the disruption of the existing barrier — protective complex of the oral cavity. Saliva contains specific and non-specifi c defense factors. Immunoglobulins, T — and В -lymphocytes act as factors of specifi c protection. Factors of non-specifi c protection are represented by: interferons; lysozyme; lactoferrin; macrophages, neutrophils, etc.
