[Cellular immune response and concentrations of serum immunoglobulins in patients with Hodgkin's disease (author's transl)]. 1979

K Stefanits, and E Kuhn, and M Ambrus, and T Csere

The cellular immune response was explored by us with the help of tuberculin and DNCB reactions in 73 cases of Hodgkin's disease. Serum immunoglobulins were simultaneously determined. Tuberculin and DNCB reactions had significantly been decreased before treatment. A significant augmentation of the IgA is remarkable in tuberculin and DNCB positive groups. The positivity of the cutaneous tests is only temporarily lowered by radiation therapy, the difference being not significant, while IgM values in patients who had undergone radiation therapy are remaining at a lower level. Patients in remission revealed a positivity in tests that was approximating the values before treatment. Lower values were observed in all the three groups of immunoglobulins; the decrease of the IgM-values was significant. In case of a relapse, a significant decrease of positivity developed, accompanied by significantly increased values of IgA in tuberculin and DNCB negative groups. Only insignificantly positive values of the cutaneous tests were seen in the course of cytostatic treatment, and the values of the IgM were significantly decreased.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007070 Immunoglobulin A Represents 15-20% of the human serum immunoglobulins, mostly as the 4-chain polymer in humans or dimer in other mammals. Secretory IgA (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, SECRETORY) is the main immunoglobulin in secretions. IgA,IgA Antibody,IgA1,IgA2,Antibody, IgA
D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM
D007111 Immunity, Cellular Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.

D004137 Dinitrochlorobenzene A skin irritant that may cause dermatitis of both primary and allergic types. Contact sensitization with DNCB has been used as a measure of cellular immunity. DNCB is also used as a reagent for the detection and determination of pyridine compounds. 1-Chloro-2,4-Dinitrobenzene,2,4-Dinitrochlorobenzene,Benzene, 1-Chloro-2,4-Dinitro-,Chlorodinitrobenzene,DNCB,1 Chloro 2,4 Dinitrobenzene,2,4 Dinitrochlorobenzene
D005260 Female Females
D006689 Hodgkin Disease A malignant disease characterized by progressive enlargement of the lymph nodes, spleen, and general lymphoid tissue. In the classical variant, giant usually multinucleate Hodgkin's and REED-STERNBERG CELLS are present; in the nodular lymphocyte predominant variant, lymphocytic and histiocytic cells are seen.
