Serum sialyl Lewis X-i antigen in lung adenocarcinoma and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Sialyl Lewis X-i antigen has been used as a diagnostic tool for lung adenocarcinoma. However, serum levels of the antigen are also raised in some patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) without coexistent malignancy. Expression of the antigen in serum samples of patients with lung adenocarcinoma was evaluated and compared with that of patients with IPF by Western blotting i...
متن کاملSerum sialyl lewis X-i antigen levels in non-small cell lung cancer: correlation with distant metastasis and survival.
To evaluate the correlation between serum levels of sialyl Lewis X-i antigen and distant metastasis and survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we measured the serum levels of the tumor marker in 371 patients with untreated NSCLC. The sialyl Lewis X-i antigen level was measured using a RIA kit. In patients with adenocarcinoma or other NSCLC subtypes, there was a correlatio...
متن کاملSelectin Ligands Sialyl-Lewis a and Sialyl-Lewis x in Gastrointestinal Cancers
The tetrasaccharide structures Siaα2,3Galβ1,3(Fucα1,4)GlcNAc and Siaα2,3Galβ1,4(Fucα1,3)GlcNAc constitute the epitopes of the carbohydrate antigens sialyl-Lewis a (sLea) and sialyl-Lewis x (sLex), respectively, and are the minimal requirement for selectin binding to their counter-receptors. Interaction of sLex expressed on the cell surface of leucocytes with E-selectin on endothelial cells allo...
متن کاملSialyl Lewis X and neutrophil aggregation.
We read with great interest the report by Simon et all concerning the obligatory role of& integrin and L-selectin in neutrophil aggregation. Monoclonal antibodies against adhesion molecules (IB4anti CD18 and DREG 200-anti L-selectin) markedly decrease aggregation.’.’ Furthermore. neutrophils from LAD I patients (CD18 deficiency) do not aggregate unless mixed with control cells, validating the r...
متن کامل[Serum biomarkers in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis].
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common of interstitial lung diseases and is characterised by a significant mortality rate. That is way both clinicists and patients are interested to identify factors that may influence outcome of disease. This factors are named biological markers or biomarkers. Their usefulness in diagnostic, monitoring and prognosis of interstitial pneumonia, an...
