Antigens Involved in Adaptive Immunity

460
An antigen is any substance the immune system identifies as foreign and potentially harmful to the body, prompting an immune response. Antigens have two functional properties: immunogenicity and reactivity. Immunogenicity is the ability of an antigen to stimulate a specific immune response. At the same time, reactivity describes the antigen's ability to react with the cells and antibodies produced in response to it.

Tissue Transplantation01:24

Tissue Transplantation

341
Tissue transplantation is a significant medical procedure involving the transfer of cells, tissues, or organs from a donor to a recipient, with the primary aim of restoring lost functions. This procedure is crucial in treating a broad spectrum of diseases, including kidney diseases, liver failure, heart disease, and certain types of cancers.
The Biology of Tissue Transplantation
The biology of tissue transplantation hinges on the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules. These molecules...

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

911
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Immunohistochemical markers CD1a and CD207 identify Langerhans cells (LC) in damaged bile ducts after liver transplant. However, these markers are not specific to Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) recurrence, indicating their presence alone is insufficient for diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Immunopathology
  • Transplant Medicine
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disorder involving dendritic cell infiltration, potentially causing organ dysfunction.
  • A liver transplant recipient developed cholangiopathy, raising the question of whether observed Langerhans cells (LC) indicated acute cellular rejection (ACR) or recurrent LCH.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To differentiate between acute cellular rejection (ACR) and recurrent Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) in liver allografts.
  • To evaluate the specificity of CD1a and CD207 immunostaining for diagnosing recurrent LCH in post-transplant cholangiopathy.

Main Methods:

  • Immunohistochemical analysis using CD1a and CD207 antibodies was performed on a liver transplant patient with suspected recurrent LCH.
  • A comparative analysis was conducted on 14 additional patient samples with acute cellular rejection (ACR).

Main Results:

  • Among 15 samples, 80% showed positive staining for CD1a and/or CD207.
  • Four samples (26.7%), including the index case, exhibited co-expression of both markers in bile duct epithelium and surrounding tissue.
  • Six samples (40%) showed staining for only one marker.

Conclusions:

  • Immunostaining for CD1a and CD207 identifies Langerhans cells (LC) in damaged bile ducts, even in the absence of suspected LCH.
  • The co-expression of CD1a and CD207 is not specific to recurrent LCH in liver allografts.
  • The presence of CD1a+/CD207+ cells alone is insufficient to confirm recurrent LCH in the context of post-transplant liver disease.
