Blood group antigens A and B in ameloblastomas, odontogenic keratocysts and non-keratinizing cysts. 1975

P Vedtofte, and E Dabelsteen

The expression of blood group antigens A and B has been studied in 8 ameloblastomas, 16 odontogenic keratocysts from patients with basal cell nevus syndrome, 11 odontogenic keratocysts from patients without the syndrome, and 12 non-keratinizing odontogenic cysts, using a double layer immunofluorescence staining technique. The amount of antigen in the lesions was compared with the content of antigen in normal buccal mucosa from each patient. All ameloblastomas reacted negatively, three cysts from the patients with the basal cell nevus syndrome reacted negatively, and the odontogenic keratocysts from patients without the syndrome as well as the non-keratinizing odontogenic cysts all gave a positive reaction.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007519 Isoantigens Antigens that exist in alternative (allelic) forms in a single species. When an isoantigen is encountered by species members who lack it, an immune response is induced. Typical isoantigens are the BLOOD GROUP ANTIGENS. Alloantigens,Alloantigen,Isoantigen
D009807 Odontogenic Cysts Cysts found in the jaws and arising from epithelium involved in tooth formation. They include follicular cysts (e.g., primordial cyst, dentigerous cyst, multilocular cyst), lateral periodontal cysts, and radicular cysts. They may become keratinized (odontogenic keratocysts). Follicular cysts may give rise to ameloblastomas and, in rare cases, undergo malignant transformation. Keratocysts,Cyst, Odontogenic,Cysts, Odontogenic,Keratocyst,Odontogenic Cyst
D001789 Blood Group Antigens Sets of cell surface antigens located on BLOOD CELLS. They are usually membrane GLYCOPROTEINS or GLYCOLIPIDS that are antigenically distinguished by their carbohydrate moieties. Blood Group,Blood Group Antigen,Blood Groups,Antigen, Blood Group,Antigens, Blood Group,Group Antigen, Blood,Group, Blood,Groups, Blood

D000017 ABO Blood-Group System The major human blood type system which depends on the presence or absence of two antigens A and B. Type O occurs when neither A nor B is present and AB when both are present. A and B are genetic factors that determine the presence of enzymes for the synthesis of certain glycoproteins mainly in the red cell membrane.

D000564 Ameloblastoma An immature epithelial tumor of the JAW originating from the epithelial rests of Malassez or from other epithelial remnants of the ENAMEL from the developmental period. It is a slowly growing tumor, usually benign, but displays a marked propensity for invasive growth. Ameloblastomas
D001706 Biopsy Removal and pathologic examination of specimens from the living body. Biopsies
