Human stomach adenocarcinomas containing alpha-1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) in their cell nuclei were transplanted into nude mice. The presence of ACT was monitored using an immunohistochemical technique with horseradish peroxidase-labeled rabbit anti-ACT Fab' as well as single radial immunodiffusion. Two weeks after transplantation, ACT could be found neither in transplanted carcinoma cells nor in the sera of carcinoma-bearing nude mice. However, if human ACT was injected i.v., it could be detected in the transplanted carcinoma cell nuclei 2 h after injection. The ACT was detected immunohistochemically and was confirmed by biochemical fractionation using 125I-labeled ACT. On the other hand, the amount of ACT production was not sufficient to indicate biosynthesis. These results demonstrated that ACT detected in stomach carcinoma cell nuclei was not synthesized in carcinoma cells but was incorporated from the blood circulation.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell

D000514 alpha 1-Antichymotrypsin Glycoprotein found in alpha(1)-globulin region in human serum. It inhibits chymotrypsin-like proteinases in vivo and has cytotoxic killer-cell activity in vitro. The protein also has a role as an acute-phase protein and is active in the control of immunologic and inflammatory processes, and as a tumor marker. It is a member of the serpin superfamily.
