Immunoelectron microscopy study of superficial skin nerves in drug-induced acute urticaria Estudo de microscopia imunoeletrônica dos nervos superficiais da pele na urticária aguda induzida por medicamentos
BACKGROUND: Few studies have evaluated the ultrastructure of the superficial skin nerves in urticaria. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to describe findings in superficial skin nerves in cases of drug-induced acute urticaria. METHODS: Seven patients with drug-induced acute urticaria were included in the study. Skin biopsies were obtained from the urticarial lesion and from the apparen...
متن کاملImmunoelectron microscopy of acute graft versus host disease of the skin after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
AIMS To clarify the pathological mechanisms of acute cutaneous graft versus host disease (GvHD) following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. METHODS Skin biopsy specimens from five patients were examined by immunoelectron microscopy. A panel of monoclonal antibodies against T cell and natural killer cell subpopulations was used, including anti-CD4, -CD8, -CD16b, -CD56, -CD57, and -TCR de...
متن کاملImmunoelectron microscopy of human retroviruses.
The ultrastructural detection and identification of human retroviruses--HTLV (human T-cell lymphotropic virus) and HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)--have become an everyday task for pathologists and virologists as well as for cell and molecular biologists. The development of better and conventionally available immunocytochemical techniques, such as pre- or postembedding immunocytochemical met...
متن کاملImmunoelectron microscopy of aldehyde-fixed yeast cells.
Immunolocalization of antigens in cells requires simultaneous preservation of structure and antigenicity. The difficulties of immunolocalization methods are centered around the methods used to preserve structure, which as a rule tend to degrade the ability of antigens (usually proteins) to be recognized by their cognate antibodies. The value of immunolocalization for cell biology was early reco...
متن کاملAcute Urticaria Induced by Oral Methylprednisolone
Although corticosteroids have immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-allergic effects, allergic reactions are rare. We report a case involving a 52-year-old-female with acute urticaria caused by oral methylprednisolone. The patient had experienced aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) for 13 years with frequent asthma exacerbations. Symptoms of asthma exacerbations improved wit...
