Kaposi s sarcoma has been diagnosed in increased frequency among the homosexual male population in New York City and San Francisco. The typical form of the disease affects the extremities and 70-90% of the affected patients are men. The new form which affects the head and the body as well as the arms has been found on

Experiments using the Sepharose bead immunofluorescence assay (SBIFA) for comparing Mason- Pfizer monkey virus (MPMV) and a type D retrovirus isolated from a continuous human fibroblast line (PMFV) are reported. MPMV p27 related antigens were demonstrated in experiments usi

Epidemiology, pathogenesis, classification, and therapy of Kaposi s sarcoma (KS) are reviewed. KS is intimately linked with cytomegalovirus infection in genetically and environmentally diverse hosts. The current epidemic of KS in homosexuals in the Unit

Loss of immunocompetency and increased frequency of Kaposi s sarcoma (KS) in homosexuals is discussed. High serum antibody titers to cytomegalovirus ( CMV ) were present in all KS patients in whom it was tested. Homosexuals hav

A sharp increase in the incidence of Kaposi s sarcoma (KS) has been reported among homosexual men who live in or have visited New York or several other cities in the United States . The increase is accompanied by a similar increase in opportunistic infections. The cause is evidently inf
Reference is made in this paper to cytomorphological definitions as well as to epidemiological, aetiological, and pathogenetic aspects of cervical carcinomas and pertinent precancerous changes. Cytological criteria, including cytometric data of dysplastic changes, are compared to aspects of cervical carcinomas, and ty

Partially inbred line UCD 140 chickens develop an age dependent inherited 7S immunoglobulin deficiency with features similar to acquired human agammaglobulinemia. Serial and developmental observations in line UCD 140 and control lines 440 and 444 reveal a significant progressive premature involution of the bursa of Fa
The growing number of patients showing a restricted immune defence, also causes the surgeon to be faced with big problems; particularly in the case of intraperitoneal infections. In case of peritonitis the organism may dispose of various opportunities of immune defence involving the local limitation by adhesions, phag

Specific probes (alpha-bungarotoxin for acetylcholine receptor (AChR), staphylococcal protein A for IgG, monospecific antibodies against C3 and C9) labelled with peroxidase were applied to study of the ultrastructure of the MG end plate. In each case of MG there was postsynaptic AChR deficiency, usually greatest at en

Simian sarcoma-associated virus (SSaV) was repeatedly passaged on three human cell lines. The proteins of the progeny virus were analysed for the presence of variant polypeptides. Occasionally, a few variant polypeptides were observed. One-dimensional peptide maps of the major virus protein p30 revealed no modificatio

Kaposi s sarcoma, a multicentric malignant neoplasm, occurs in certain geographic areas in the world. It is most common in Equatorial Africa and Eastern Europe. The annual incidence of Kaposi s sarcoma in the United States is between 0.021 and 0.061 per 100,000 persons. The appearance

Among the prominent features of a newly described acquired cellular immunodeficiency syndrome that affects previously healthy male homosexuals are multiple opportunistic infections and Kaposi s sarcoma. Immunosuppression induced by cytomegalovirus infection may play a major role in
