    Immunopathological investigations for demonstration of intracytoplasmatic immunoglobulins (zIg) were carried out in 100 pleural fluids of different aetiology. In 1/3 of all fluids gamma-globulin and IgG were found in plasma cells and lymphoblasts (immunocytes). Most often zIg were seen in postpneumonic and tumorous effusions, very sparse in tuberculosis. Among different organ tumors bronchial carcinomas exhibit a high percentage of positive findings.

    Cytoplasm

    The cytoplasm consists of organelles and a framework of protein scaffolds called the cytoskeleton suspended in an aqueous solution, the cytosol. The cytosol is a rich broth of water, ions, salts, and various organic molecules.Protein Folding and MisfoldingThe cytoplasm is the location for several cellular processes, including protein synthesis and folding. The aqueous nature of the cytosol promotes protein folding such that the hydrophobic amino acid side chains are buried in the protein core...

    Transcytosis of IgG

    Transcytosis is the process in which molecules are internalized by endocytosis, transported across the cell, and released through exocytosis from the opposite end of the cell. Molecules such as insulin, immunoglobulins, and certain nutrients are transferred through the recycling endosomes by recycling and transcytosis.
    IgG molecules from a mother undergo transcytosis starting around 13 weeks of gestation. The amount of IgG transferred and entering the fetal blood circulation increases with...

    Pleural Effusion I: Introduction

    Pleural effusion is an abnormal fluid accumulation in the pleural cavity, a narrow space between the lungs and the chest wall. It is not a disease per se but rather a symptom or indication of an underlying disease. In normal circumstances, this space contains a small amount of fluid (5 to 15 mL), a lubricant facilitating the non-frictional movement of the pleural surfaces.
    There are two main types of pleural effusion: transudative and exudative. They are differentiated using Light's criteria,...
