    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.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Synthesis of collagen by chondrocytes was studied by immunofluorescence using antibodies specific for type I, II and III collagen. The following tissues and culture conditions were chosen for this immunohistological study: normal articular cartilage, epiphyseal growth cartilage, cartilage undergoing osteoarthrotic degeneration, suspension culture and monolayer culture. While type II collagen is the unique collagen all over hyaline cartilage, type I collagen is produced by hypertrophic chondrocytes in the growth plate. In addition, chondrocytes in osteoarthrotic areas of articular cartilage synthesize type I collagen. Under in vitro culture conditions, chondrocytes initially produce type II collagen and synthesize later on type I collagen. The change of synthesis from type II to type I collagen is more rapid in monolayer than in suspension culture. It is concluded that the presence of matrix compounds and the cellmatrix interaction as well are necessary to maintain synthesis of type II collagen in chondrocytes. Alterations in the cell-matrix interactions are shown to occur in the hypertrophic zone of the epiphyseal growth plate, in cartilage undergoing osteoarthrotic degeneration as well as in chondrocytes grown in culture. Thus, change in the control of gene activity may subsequently lead to change in collagen synthesis. It is possible that the synthesis of type I collagen, which cannot fulfil the physiological function of a structural element in cartilageneous tissue, is a crucial factor in the process of osteoarthrosis.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Unter Verwendung von spezifischen Antikörpern ist es möglich, mit Hilfe immunhistologischer Methoden die Verteilung der verschiedenen Kollagentypen und auch die Kollagensynthese einzelner Zellen zu verfolgen. Diese Methode wurde angewendet, um die Kollagensynthese von Chondrocyten im normalen Gelenkknorpel, Epiphysenknorpel der Wachstumsplatte, osteoarthrotischen Gelenkknorpel, sowie unter in vitro Kulturbedingungen zu verfolgen. Während im normalen Knorpel nur Typ II Kollagen synthetisiert wird, wurde festgestellt, daß die hypertrophierenden großen Chondrocyten an der Basis des Säulenknorpels auf die Synthese des Typ I Kollagens umschalten. Ähnliches gilt auch für die arthrotischen Zellen des Gelenkknorpels. Hier führt die Degeneration zu einer Umschaltung der Kollagensynthese von Typ II auf Typ I Kollagen. Dieses Phänomen kann auch in vitro nachvollzogen werden. In Suspensionskulturen, in denen Chondrocyten in Aggregaten eine knorpelähnliche Matrix aufzubauen vermögen, vollzieht sich der Umschaltungsprozeß langsamer als in Monolayerkulturen. Diese Beobachtungen zeigen, daß Chondrocyten zur Aufrechterhaltung ihrer Typ II Kollagensynthese eine spezielle Zell-Matrix-Wechselwirkung benötigen. Wird durch eine Veränderung der Knorpelmatrix (z.B. bei dem Degenerationsprozeß der Osteoarthrose) diese Wechselbeziehung gestört, kommt es zu einer Neuorientierung der Kollagensynthese und — in deren Folge — zur Umschaltung auf Typ I Kollagen.

    Notes: Abstract Samples of bone from a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta were found to synthesize and contain type III collagen as well as type I collagen. Normal bone contains only type I collagen except in the lining cells of the bone marrow cavities. In the patient's tissue, type III collagen was localized in nonfibrillar structures in discrete areas of the bone. These and previous studies indicate that certain types of osteogenesis imperfecta may be caused by a failure of normal bone maturation and the sites in which the type III collagen is found appear to be defects in the bone.

    Notes: Abstract This report relates the case histories of two sisters who demonstrated the typical symptoms of progeria at birth. One of these children had died previous to this study. The familial occurrence underlines the thesis that progeria is an autosomal-recessive disorder. The examination of the cultured skin fibroblasts from the younger child showed a clear decrease in cell growth. On the other hand, the immunfluorescent examination of skin biopsies and cultured skin fibroblasts revealed no atypical distribution of collagen types.

    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.

    Notes: Summary In this study it is demonstrated, that incubation of both, bile acids and free fatty acids with LP-X, the abnormal plasmalipoprotein found in patients suffering from cholestasis or LCAT-deficiency, results in striking alterations of the physico-chemical and immunological properties of LP-X: 1. The cathodic mobility in agar is changed into an anodic migration of the material. 2. The unique appearance of LP-X on electronmicrographs is altered by the incubation revealing fingerprint like structures. 3. The albumin portion of LP-X becomes immunologically detectable. 4. Bile salts cause marked changes in the hydrated density of the material as determined by zonal ultracentrifugation. 5. In vitro incubation of LP-X with postheparin plasma causes a complete disappearance of LP-X as judged by its typical migration on agar electrophoresis. All these alterations can be prevented or reversed by the addition of albumin in appropriate concentrations. These findings are important in the light of studies designed to investigate the catabolic action of plasma lipolytic enzymes on LP-X, as well as for follow up studies of LP-X concentrations during the course of disease.

    Notes: Summary The present study describes for the first time the use of the fluorescent dye sulfonefluorescein for intravital microscopy and microphotometry on the renal surface of rats. With help of this dye tubular secretion can be observed in mammalian kidney in vivo. Tubular secretion can further be quantified with microphotometrical measurements. The molecular structure of sulfonefluorescein is closely related to phenol red, which is known for its tubular secretion. Clearance experiments also show a secretion of sulfonefluorescein. The secretion can be inhibited by probenecid. Ureter ligation causes a strong increase in tubular concentration of the dye. After a temporary ischemia dye accumulation in tubular lumen is greatly reduced.

    Notes: Summary The parents of a child with the clinical symptoms of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VI were identified as third-degree cousins. Biochemical analysis of the dermis of the patient revealed a complete lack of hydroxylysine in the dermal collagen. The dermis of both parents contained only half the amount of hydroxylysine found in healthy individuals. Hydroxylation of prolyl residues was normal in the skin of the patient and his parents. Investigation of the collagen synthesized by fibroblasts derived from the skin of the patient showed a normal proportion of type I and type III collagen. However, while hydroxylation of prolyl residues was normal in type I and type III collagen, hydroxylation of lysyl residues was markedly lower than normal in both type I and type III collagen.
