Serum proteins in human squamous epithelium

G Coruh, D Y Mason

    The British Journal of Dermatology
    |May 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    A novel immunoperoxidase staining technique detected serum proteins within human skin and mucous membrane epithelium. This finding suggests passive diffusion as a potential entry mechanism for these proteins into epithelial cells.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunohistochemistry
    • Cell Biology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Serum proteins are typically found in the bloodstream, not within epithelial cells.
    • Previous studies have not extensively investigated the presence of serum proteins within the epithelium of skin and mucous membranes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and apply a highly specific immunoperoxidase staining technique for detecting serum proteins in human epithelial tissues.
    • To investigate the cellular localization and patterns of serum protein deposition within the epithelium.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a novel, high-specificity immunoperoxidase staining technique (labelled antigen method).
    • Employed double immunoenzymatic labelling (alkaline phosphatase and peroxidase) for co-localization studies.
    • Examined a diverse range of skin disease samples.

    Main Results:

    • Detected significant intracellular staining for serum proteins in the upper mid-zone of epithelial cells, often with nuclear changes.
    • Observed that different serum proteins frequently co-localized within the same epithelial cells.
    • Identified a less common pattern of intercellular IgG deposition.

    Conclusions:

    • The study demonstrates the presence of serum proteins within epithelial cells of human skin and mucous membranes.
    • Passive diffusion is proposed as a likely mechanism for serum protein entry into epithelial cells.
    • Similar phenomena have been observed in other tissues like the central nervous system and lymphoid tissue using immunoenzymatic techniques.
