Cytoplasmic blood plasma inclusions in human hepatocytes. 1982

Y Nakanuma, and G Ohta, and F Matsubara, and K Watanabe, and K Doishita

Hepatocellular blood plasma inclusions were demonstrated in conventional formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded liver tissue by the immunoperoxidase technique in 114 out of 197 liver specimens. They were usually round or elliptical in shape, their size varying from a few microns to about 30 microns in diameter. Albumin, fibrinogen, alpha 1-antitrypsin, IgG, IgM, IgA, ceruloplasmin and transferrin were demonstrated in the inclusions, in that order of frequency. A majority were negative with the periodic acid Schiff stain after amylase digestion, but a few were positive. Many of them seemed to correspond to vacuoles in the hepatocytes but some were not seen in HE-stained sections. The inclusions were frequently seen in autopsy liver specimens, but were rare in surgical ones. Most of the inclusions might develop at an agonal stage, probably as a result of hypoxia or circulatory disturbances in the livers.

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.
