The sera of 30 patients with premature ovarian failure (POF) and a control group of 19 menopausal women were screened for anti-ovarian and other tissue antibodies. Anti-ovarian antibodies were detected by indirect immunofluorescence using monkey ovary substrates from two different commercial sources. Serum anti-ovarian antibodies were detected in only one of the patients with POF. This test does not appear to be reliable for the detection of serum anti-ovarian antibodies, and the clinical usefulness of screening patients with POF for anti-ovarian antibodies is questionable.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010053 Ovary The reproductive organ (GONADS) in female animals. In vertebrates, the ovary contains two functional parts: the OVARIAN FOLLICLE for the production of female germ cells (OOGENESIS); and the endocrine cells (GRANULOSA CELLS; THECA CELLS; and LUTEAL CELLS) for the production of ESTROGENS and PROGESTERONE. Ovaries
D010295 Parietal Cells, Gastric Rounded or pyramidal cells of the GASTRIC GLANDS. They secrete HYDROCHLORIC ACID and produce gastric intrinsic factor, a glycoprotein that binds VITAMIN B12.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
