Investigation of ABH antigenicity of random mucosal biopsies and transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder. 1983

G Jakse, and F Hofstädter

Blood group isoantigens can be demonstrated immunohistologically on normal bladder urothelium by means of the specific red cell adherence test. In preneoplastic and reactive changes of the urothelium as well as in carcinoma in situ, a loss of these antigens occurs. Blood group isoantigen content decreases with higher anaplasia of transitional cell carcinoma. Overt tumors without blood group isoantigens are associated with carcinoma in situ and severe dysplasia at a high percentage. These tumors are associated significantly more often with antigen-negative light-microscopically normal-appearing urothelium than antigen-positive ones do.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007519 Isoantigens Antigens that exist in alternative (allelic) forms in a single species. When an isoantigen is encountered by species members who lack it, an immune response is induced. Typical isoantigens are the BLOOD GROUP ANTIGENS. Alloantigens,Alloantigen,Isoantigen
D009092 Mucous Membrane An EPITHELIUM with MUCUS-secreting cells, such as GOBLET CELLS. It forms the lining of many body cavities, such as the DIGESTIVE TRACT, the RESPIRATORY TRACT, and the reproductive tract. Mucosa, rich in blood and lymph vessels, comprises an inner epithelium, a middle layer (lamina propria) of loose CONNECTIVE TISSUE, and an outer layer (muscularis mucosae) of SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS that separates the mucosa from submucosa.
