Immunohistochemical study of foci of recent cell death in Huntington's disease.
نویسنده
چکیده
Foci of recent cell death were identified in 10 consecutive cases of Huntington's disease in the caudate nucleus and putamen. Indirect immunohistochemical staining procedures were performed on these areas and controls using fluorescein conjugated anti-globulin and peroxidase-conjugated anti-globulin. Positive results were found when human antiserum to Cytomegalovirus was used. The possibility of abnormal antigen presence within the dying neurons in this disease is discussed.

Introduction: As an inherited neurodegenerative disease, Huntington's disease is accompanied with wide neuronal degeneration in neostriatum and neocortex. Progress of the disease causes disabling clinical effects on movements, recognition and physiology of the body, and finally results in death. At this stage of knowledge we are, there is no effective therapeutic strategy for diminishing the mo...
