Detection of immune complexes in human dental periapical lesions by anticomplement immunofluorescence technique.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Twenty-five human dental periapical lesions were obtained. The lesions were frozen, sectioned, and examined for the presence of immune complexes by employing an anticomplement immunofluorescence (ACIF) technique. Twenty-three of the periapical specimens were positive for antigen-antibody complexes. No staining was noted in the two lesions that were histologically diagnosed as periapical scar tissue.

Anticomplement immunofluorescence test that uses isolated fibroblast nuclei for detection of antibodies to human cytomegalovirus.
Cytomegalovirus antibodies were measured in human sera by a nuclear anticomplement immunofluorescence test that used as antigen the isolated nucleic of virus-infected fibroblasts cells lysed in distilled water. The method exhibited less nonspecific fluorescence than either a conventional whole-cell anticomplement immunofluorescence test or an indirect fluorescent antibody test applied to the sa...

The anticomplement immunofluorescence (ACIF) test was compared with complement fixation and fluorescent antibody to membrane antigen procedures for the detection of antibody to varicella-zoster virus. All of 50 sera from pregnant women contained antibody measured by ACIF (titer, greater than or equal to 1:10); only 27 (54%) were positive by complement fixation (P less than 0.01). For 16 paired ...

Eleven unrestorable primary molars with interradicular radiolucencies were extracted. The granulation tissue was curretted from the sockets and examined using immunofluorescence for the immunoglobulins IgG, lgA, and IgM, and the third component of complement. The results demonstrated the presence of IgG in 100%, C3 in 80%, Ig~ in 54.5%, and IgM in 18.1% of the lesions. In an attempt to describe...
متن کاملRate and comparison of periapical inflammatory lesions using clinical diagnosis and histopathological findings during the 18-year study period
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Inflammatory Periapical lesions are the most common periapical lesions. These lesions are often diagnosed based on clinical and radiological examination, which may be different from the histological finding. The present study was carried out with aim to assess the rate and to compare clinical and radiographic features with histological diagnosis of periapical pathology.METHO...
متن کاملQuantitation of circulating immune complexes in patients with chronic periapical lesions.
Quantitation of circulating immune complexes (CIC) was done in 45 patients with chronic periapical lesions. The levels were compared with those of age-matched healthy individuals. Both patients with chronic periapical granuloma and periapical cysts showed significantly higher levels of CIC than the controls. This observation indicates that the continuous presence of root canal antigens may caus...
