Bacterial Inclusion Bodies Contain Amyloid-Like Structure

Protein aggregation is a process in which identical proteins self-associate into imperfectly ordered macroscopic entities. Such aggregates are generally classified as amorphous, lacking any long-range order, or highly ordered fibrils. Protein fibrils can be composed of native globular molecules, such as the hemoglobin molecules in sickle-cell fibrils, or can be reorganized beta-sheet-rich aggre...

Inclusion bodies in nongonococcal urethritis; also skin lesions with inclusions.

In a recent statistical survey of 2,756 cases of non-gonococcal urethritis examined at the Urological Clinic of the Faculty of Medicine in Paris (Hopital Cochin), inclusion bodies were found in 84, i.e., an average of about 3 per cent. In patients suffering from the urethro-conjunctivo-synovial syndrome, we have found, as previously reported by Harkness (1945), inclusion bodies in scrapings fro...

Seborrheic inclusion cyst of the skin positive for cytoplasmic inclusion bodies and HPV antigen.

Seborrheic inclusion cyst (SIC) is a very rare variant of epidermal cyst of the skin. SIC shows seborrheic keratosis (SK)-like lesion in epidermal cyst. SIC is extremely rare; only 6 case reports have been published in the English literature. However, no immunohistochemical study of SIC has been reported. A 41-year-old Japanese man noticed a subcutaneous tumor in the neck. Physical examination ...

Inclusion bodies in trachoma.

THE epithelial-cell inclusion, which is characteristically found in the early stages of trachoma was first described by Halberstaedter and Prowazek (1907). Since that time, a considerable literature concerning the nature of these bodies has accumulated. It is generally conceded that they consist of virus particles together with material elaborated by the virus and/or produced by the parasitized...
