A comparative study of seborrheic keratoses and basal cell epitheliomas by complement immunofluorescence and electron microscopy. 1980

S Kimura, and Y Yamasaki, and T Nishikawa, and S Kurihara, and H Hatano

Eight cases of seborrheic keratosis (SK) and 7 cases of basal cell epithelioma (BCE) were studied comparatively by complement immunofluorescence using pemphigoid serum which was reactive not only to the basement membrane zone (BMZ) but also to the cell membrane or the intercellular space (CMICS) of basal cells in normal human epidermis. Positive immunofluorescence both at the BMZ and the CMICS of proliferating basaloid cells was observed in all cases of SK, whereas in BCE, immunofluorescence weaker than that in SK was observed only a the BMZ of tumor cell nests. These tumors were also examined by light and electron microscopy, and differences already described in the literature between SK and BCE were confirmed. These findings suggest that antigenic properties of the BMZ of the skin are affected by proliferating epithelial cells and that epithelial cells are involved in the formation of the BMZ.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D002280 Carcinoma, Basal Cell A malignant skin neoplasm that seldom metastasizes but has potentialities for local invasion and destruction. Clinically it is divided into types: nodular, cicatricial, morphaic, and erythematoid (pagetoid). They develop on hair-bearing skin, most commonly on sun-exposed areas. Approximately 85% are found on the head and neck area and the remaining 15% on the trunk and limbs.

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.

D001485 Basement Membrane A darkly stained mat-like EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX (ECM) that separates cell layers, such as EPITHELIUM from ENDOTHELIUM or a layer of CONNECTIVE TISSUE. The ECM layer that supports an overlying EPITHELIUM or ENDOTHELIUM is called basal lamina. Basement membrane (BM) can be formed by the fusion of either two adjacent basal laminae or a basal lamina with an adjacent reticular lamina of connective tissue. BM, composed mainly of TYPE IV COLLAGEN; glycoprotein LAMININ; and PROTEOGLYCAN, provides barriers as well as channels between interacting cell layers.

D012628 Dermatitis, Seborrheic A chronic inflammatory disease of the skin with unknown etiology. It is characterized by moderate ERYTHEMA, dry, moist, or greasy (SEBACEOUS GLAND) scaling and yellow crusted patches on various areas, especially the scalp, that exfoliate as dandruff. Seborrheic dermatitis is common in children and adolescents with HIV INFECTIONS. Seborrhea,Dermatitis Seborrheica,Seborrheic Dermatitis,Dermatitides, Seborrheic,Seborrheic Dermatitides
