A quantitative study of the influence of fixation on immunoperoxidase staining of rectal mucosal plasma cells.

چکیده
A quantitative morphometric study of the immunoglobulin-containing plasma cells in rectal biopsies from nine patients with ulcerative colitis and three patients with the irritable colon syndrome is presented. The results show that fixation of the biopsy specimens with formol-sublimate, a mercuric fixative, resulted in better staining with the immunoperoxidase method and that, by comparison with formol saline, higher cell counts were always obtained.

Background and purpose: Hirschsprung’s disease (HD) is the most common etiology of neonatal intestinal obstruction. Definite diagnosis is based on demonstration of aganglionosis in seromuscular and full tickness rectal biopsy. Because of problems and complications of full tickness and seromuscular rectal biopsies, mucosal-submucosal rectal biopsy is prefered,but interpretation of these biopsi...

To achieve optimum staining and reproducible counts of plasma cells in paraffin embedded tissue with the immunoperoxidase technique we have found it essential to obtain a plateau count by titration of antisera for each specimen. This modification was used to study IgA, IgM, IgE, and IgG plasma cells in rectal biopsies from 20 controls, 20 patients with ulcerative proctocolitis, 20 with Crohn's ...

Background: Lichen planus (LP) is a common inflammatory skin disease. Pathogenesis of LP includes two possible mechanisms; related or unrelated to antigen. Regarding different clinical features of cutaneous and mucosal types of LP, for the first time, we decided to perform a qualitative and quantitative study of immune cells in different types of cutaneous LP and in comparison with normal skin....

An immunoperoxidase technique was applied to formalin and Helly fixed paraffin wax sections from cases of ulcerative colitis complicated by dysplasia and carcinoma for carcinoembryonic antigen and components of the colonic secretory immunoglobulin system--namely, secretory component, IgA, and J chain. Sections from both resection specimens and mucosal biopsies were available. Intensity of immun...
