    Notes: Summary Normal tissue as well as various benign and malignant lesions of the breast were histochemically examined for the presence of the Thomsen-Friedenreich (TF)-antigen. Fluorescein- or 3H-labelled peanut agglutinin was used for this purpose, a lectin that is known to have a high affinity for the TF-antigen. The occurrence of this TF-antigen seemed in all cases, even in the carcinoma lobulare in situ that is regarded as being derived from myoepithelial cells by some authors, to be associated with a secretory condition. Its presence (free and neuraminicacid covered) in normal, hyperplastic and malignant breast tissue, however, cannot be considered a specific tumour associated antigen as has been previously assumed. Furthermore the investigations have shown that the intensity of fluorescence for peanut agglutinin (PNA)-receptors was generally stronger in differentiated carcinomas than in undifferentiated carcinomas of the breast. The histochemical findings are discussed with regard to diagnostical and immunotherapeutical aspects.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary 1. Three different methods are described for the visualisation of the Thomsen-Friedenreich (TF) antigen on cell suspensions, formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded or frozen tissue sections: a) Rosette formation with chicken and sheep erythrocytes. b) Fluorescence-microscopy with fluorescein labelled peanut agglutinin. c) Autoradiography with3H-labelled peanut agglutinin. 2. The TF antigen was shown, as far as presently investigated, to be exposed on various blood cells, glomerula of the kidney and normal mammary gland after neuraminidase treatment. Mammary gland was also shown to possess TF receptors without prior treatment with neuraminidase. 3. The exposure of this cryptantigen can be brought about by bacterial or viral neuraminidase and is followed by an antigen/antibody reaction, which can lead to possible pathological consequences.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung 1. Drei verschiedene Methoden zur Darstellung von sog. Thomsen-Friedenreich (TF)-Antigenen in Zellsuspensionen, an Formalin-fixiertem und in Paraffin eingebettetem Gewebe sowie in Gefrierschnitten werden beschrieben: a) Rosetten-Bildung mit Hühner- und Schaferythrocyten. b) Fluorescenzmikroskopie mit Fluorescein-markiertem Erdnußagglutinin. c) Autoradiographie mit3H-markiertem Erdnußagglutinin. 2. Nach Neuraminidasebehandlung konnten TF-Antigene — soweit bisher untersucht — auf verschiedenen Blutzellen, in Nierenglomerula und in normalem Brustdrüsengewebe nachgewiesen werden. Ein Teil derartiger Antigene lag im Brustdrüsenparenchym auch bereits als freie Rezeptoren vor, d. h. waren nicht von Neuraminsäure bedeckt. 3. Die Freilegung dieser Kryptantigene kann im Rahmen von Infektionen durch bakterielle und virale Neuraminidase erfolgen. Dabei kommt es zu einer Antigen/Antikörper Reaktion mit unter Umständen klinisch relevanten Folgen.

    A mathematical model of B lymphocyte differentiation: Control by antigen (1981)

    Notes: Abstract A mathematical model of B lymphocyte differentiation, based on experimental results, has been developed. The model focuses on the role of antigen in initiating and regulating B cell differentiation while other mechanisms, acting in concert with antigen but the functioning of which can be circumvented under appropriate conditions, are not considered. The importance of presence of antigen at individual stages of B cell differentiation was studied in experiments with an easily metabolizable antigen. Immunocompetent cells (ICC), arising by antigen-independent differentiation of stem cells, are activated by antigen (they become immunologically activated cells — IAC). Excess of antigen drives IAC into the terminal stage (antibody-forming cells — AFC) thereby restricting proliferation. Exhaustive terminal differentiation results in tolerance. A low primary dose permits IAC to escape antigen; IAC proliferate and later give rise to resting memory cells (MC) which are amenable to reactivation. MC have higher avidity for antigen (due to higher affinity, number and density of receptors) and the effect of different doses of antigen on MC is diverse. A very low secondary dose induces tolerance, a medium dose secondary response, and the administration of a high dose of antigen also brings about tolerance. The model suggests that the fate of memory cells is controlled by the ratio R∶Ag, of the number of immunoglobulin receptors on B cells (R) to the number of available antigenic molecules (Ag), low values of R∶Ag favouring stimulation to differentiation while high values of R∶Ag favouring inactivation. A nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations, describing the development of the populations involved in antigen driven B cell differentiation, was used to simulate experiments and good qualitative agreement was achieved.

    Kongenitale Duodenalstenose im Erwachsenenalter (1994)

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Eine hochgradige Duodenalstenose im Erwachsenenalter kann in seltenen Fällen angeboren sein und findet ihre Ursache in einer intraduodenal gelegenen Membran. Die Anamnese zeigt Wachstumsstörungen mit Erbrechen und Meteorismus und abdominelle Beschwerden. Eine Perforationsöffnung in dieser Membran ist die Ursache fur ein Überleben bis ins Erwachsenenalter. Die Röntgendarstellung und die tiefe Duodenoskopie lassen auf einfache Weise die Diagnose stellen. Differentialdiagnostisch müssen der Volvulus bei Malrotation, Ladd-Bänder und das Pancreas anulare, sowie die Kompression des Duodenums durch Mesenterialgefäße erwogen werden. Das operative Verfahren der Wahl ist die Resektion der intraduodenalen Membran. Dabei ist v. a. die Papilla Vateri darzustellen, da diese nicht selten im Bereich des Septums mündet. Das längs eröffnete Duodenum wird quer verschlossen. Bei der Wind-Sock-Web-Anomalie sollte das Duodenum an der Ansatzstelle des Diaphragmas eröffnet werden. Die Anlage einer Gastrojejunostomie ist inadäquat und zu vermeiden.
    Notes: Abstract A high-grade duodenal stenosis in adults can, in rare cases, be congenital, and its cause is found in an intraduodenally sited membrane. The anamnesis reveals growth disorders with vomiting and meteorism and abdominal complaints. A perforation opening in this membrane is the reason for survival into adulthood. The X-ray appearance and deep duodenoscopy make the diagnosis easy. Volvulus in cases of malrotation, Ladd's ligaments, anular pancreas, and compression of the duodenum by mesenteric vessels must be considered in the differential diagnosis. When the intraduodenal membrane is resected it is most important to expose the papilla Vateri, since this not uncommonly ends in the area of the septum. If necessary, a duodenoduodenostomy is performed. If the windsock web abnormality is present the duodenum should be opened at the point of attachment of the diaphragm. The construction of a gastrojejunostomy should be avoided.
