An immunohistochemical study of keratin, carcinoembryonic antigen, human chorionic gonadotropin and alpha-fetoprotein in lung cancer.
Immunohistochemical staining utilizing a peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) technique for keratin, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was performed on paraffin sections from 72 cases of lung cancer obtained at autopsy. Positive reaction was shown in 44% of the cases for keratin, 77% for CEA, and 58% for HCG. AFP was positive in only one c...
متن کاملevaluation of total protein concentration in serum of veterans exposed to sulfur mustard gas
the aim of this study was to compare the total protein levels in serum of veteran exposure to sulfur mustard (sm) which was used in the iran-iraq war. in this study, 35 patients exposed to mustard gas (case group) and 35 healthy subjects (control group) were evaluated. the total protein concentration was measured by bradford method. the average amount of protein in serum exposure to sulfur must...
متن کاملEffect of Sulfur Mustard Toxicity on FLT3-ITD Gene Mutation in Sulfur Mustard Veterans
Background: Sulfur mustard (SM) is a chemical blistering warfare that affects different organs especially hematopoietic system. Prevalence of acute myeloblastic and lymphoblastic leukemia is increased by sulfur mustard exposure. FLT3-ITD mutation can be effective on leukemogenesis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to verify the frequency of FLT3-ITD mutation in the patients who exposed to S...
متن کاملChanges in serum alpha-fetoprotein and chorionic gonadotropin in response to cancer therapy.
The usefulness of measuring both alpha-fetoprotein and hCG in following the progress of patients with testicular cancers and germ cell tumors is demonstrated. In almost half the cases of testicular cancers studied, only one tumor marker was elevated; in at least one instance, the source of alpha-fetoprotein was eliminated while the source of hCG persisted. A comparison of the hCG method in use ...
متن کاملHuman chorionic gonadotropin as a tumor marker.
Ectopic production and secretion of hormones by a wide variety of tumors has been known for decades. Initially, ectopic hormone secretion was recognized by signs and symptoms of excess circulating biologically active hormone. With development of more sophisticated assay techniques, biologically inactive fragments and "big" forms of authentic hormones have been identified in these syndromes. Rec...
