    Notes: In a group of 335 patients with primary breast carcinoma the presence of immunoreactive carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and the binding of the lectin peanut agglutinin (PNA) in the primary carcinoma and in axillary lymph node metastases were investigated. The correlation between these results and a variety of established clinical, histopathologic, morphometric and biochemical prognosticators was studied. These features included lymph node status, tumour diameter, tumour type, nuclear grade, histologic grade, oestrogen receptor status, mitotic activity index and a number of nuclear measurements. The results indicate that CEA immunoreactivity of and PNA binding to tumour cells in primary breast carcinomas or lymph node metastases do not correlate with established prognostic factors in breast cancer.

    Notes: The presence of calcitonin and of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was studied in six cases of medullary carcinoma of the thyroid using an immunoperoxidase technique. In five cases the material was obtained surgically and in one at autopsy. Tissue from primary tumours as well as from metastases was studied. Calcitonin and CEA were identified within all the tumours studied, although their pattern of distribution and staining intensity varied both within the cells and within the tumour. Some parts of the tumour contained both CEA and calcitonin, while others stained positively only for one of these substances. In some parts of the tumour there was no positive staining for either substance. Within the cells, CEA showed a typical linear distribution along cell surfaces, while calcitonin showed a more even cytoplasmic distribution and the deposits were more granular. Normal tissue surrounding tumour deposits did not show positive staining. It is considered that cells of medullary carcinoma of the thyroid contain both calcitonin and CEA. Identification of CEA and calcitonin in tumour tissue can be used as a diagnostic aid to identify medullary carcinoma of the thyroid. It is considered that these substances are being produced by this tumour and can be used as tumour markers.

    Notes: Summary To study the occurrence of rheumatoid factors (RF) in relation to the activity of rheumatoid arthritis and the occurrence of vasculitis, RF of IgM, IgA, and IgG classes were measured in sera from 35 patients with definite or classic rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using ELISA. For 26 patients, the RF levels were studied longitudinally and compared with changes in the articular index. Although IgM RF was occasionally found in patients without RA, IgA and/or IgG RF were almost exclusively associated with RA. The titers of IgM, IgA, and IgG RF were significantly higher in sera from patients with clinically diagnosed rheumatoid vasculitis than in sera from patients without vasculitis. No significant correlation between changes in the articular index and changes in titer of any class-specific RF could be found for the group of RA patients as a whole. However, in individual patients, increases or decreases in IgM and IgG RF titer were significantly correlated with an increase or decrease in the articular index.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei 17 Patienten mit DH wurden vielfältige Duodenum- und Jejunum-Biopsien verrichtet. Die Dünndarm-Biopsien aller dieser Patienten zeigten histopathologische Änderungen, die cöliakie-ähnlich waren. Vierzehn dieser Patienten hielten eine glutenfreie Diät (GFD) während mehr als 8 Monaten. Bei allen untersuchten Patienten, die Diät hielten, verbesserten sich die Dünndarmerscheinungen. Die Dosierung von Dapsone, nötig für die Kontrolle der Hauterscheinungen, konnte reduziert werden um mehr als 50% bei 4 Patienten, und 5 andere Patienten, die die glutenfreie Diät auch hielten, brauchten diese Dapsone nicht mehr. Die Immunoglobulin enthaltenden Zellen in der Lamina propria wurden gezählt bei 8 Patienten, die nicht eine GFD hielten, bei 6 Patienten mit dieser GFD und bei 8 gesunden Kontroll-Personen. Die Zahl der IgA, IgM und IgG enthaltenden Zellen hat bei den meisten der DH-Patienten, die keine GFD hielten, zugenommen. Die Zahl der IgM enthaltenden Zellen bei den DH-Patienten, die eine GFD hielten, war dieselbe wie die Zahl dieser IgM enthaltenden Zellen bei den gesunden Kontroll-Personen. Aus dieser Untersuchung könnte man schließen, daß Gluten hauptsächlich eine IgM-Stimulierung in der Lamina propria hervorruft.
    Notes: Summary In 17 patients with DH, multiple duodenal and jejunal biopsies were performed. In all patients the small-intestinal biopsy-specimens showed histopathological changes compatible with coeliac disease. Fourteen of the patients maintained a gluten-free diet (GFD) for more than 8 months. The small-intestinal lesions improved in all patients investigated during the GFD. The dosage of Dapsone needed to control the skin lesions could be reduced by more than 50% in 4 patients and the Dapsone could be stopped in 5 other patients on GFD. The immunoglobulin-bearing cells in the lamina propria were counted in 8 patients not on a gluten-free diet, in 6 patients on gluten-free diet, and in 8 healthy controls. The numbers of IgA-, IgM- and IgG-bearing cells were increased in most of the DH patients who were not on a gluten-free diet. The number of IgM-bearing cells in the DH patients who were on a gluten-free diet was the same as that in the control group. This may indicate a mainly IgM response in the lamina propria induced by gluten.

    Notes: Summary The influence of different fixation methods on the results of immunoperoxydase staining of immunoglobulin and gastrin producing cells in gastric and duodenal mucosa was investigated. An indirect method was used on paraffin sections. It appeared that that fixatives containing sublimate gave the most consistent results, a sublimate-formaldehyde mixture being the best.

    Notes: Summary In tissue of rats with disseminated intravascular coagulation, fibrin microthrombi can be sensitively detected by immunohistochemical methods, using antisera against rat fibrinogen or fibrin monomer. An indirect immunoperoxidase procedure on paraplast-embedded sections yields best results with regard to the morphology of the thrombi and their localization in the tissue. Only fibrillar immunoreactive material, oriented lengthwise in the vessels, should be regarded as microthrombi formed in vivo.

    Notes: Abstract An ELISA for detection of IgG, IgA, and IgM antibody using an acid-glycine extract fromCampylobacter jejuni as antigen was developed. To determine the value of this assay for the diagnosis of acuteCampylobacter jejuni infections, the IgG, IgA, and IgM immune response againstCampylobacter jejuni was investigated at various timepoints after infection in patients with culture-proven infection. A total of 112 sera from 46 patients and 78 sera from a control group were tested. All but one of the 46 patients with culture-provenCampylobacter jejuni enteritis developed IgG antibodies againstCampylobacter jejuni. IgA and IgM ELISA both showed 97% specificity, and sensitivity of 63% and 30% respectively. IgG antibody titers generally remained at a constant level for more than 50 days, whereas IgA and IgM antibody titers declined more rapidly to normal values within 30 to 50 days after onset of clinical symptoms. Detection ofCampylobacter jejuni specific IgA antibodies in a single serum sample provided the most useful assay for serological diagnosis ofCampylobacter jejuni enteritis. The presence ofCampylobacter jejuni specific IgM antibodies was the sole diagnostic criterion in three cases. Serological diagnosis ofCampylobacter jejuni enteritis should therefore include both IgA and IgM antibody determination.
