The liver, thymus and associated tumor tissue (adenocarcinoma of the stomach in 3 patients and medulloblastoma of the cerebellum in 1 patient) from five autopsy patients with ataxia-telangiectasia (AT) was examined for alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase

Chronic liver disease developing after infection with the hepatitis B virus may be due to impairment of cell-mediated immunity (CMI). In a study of CMI by the lymphocyte transformation test to two mitogens and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) the response to the mitogens, phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and purified prote


Asymptomatic rectal mucosal lesions and hepatitis B surface antigen at sites of sexual contact in homosexual men with persistent hepatitis B virus infection.

Reiner NE; Judson FN; Bond WW; Francis DP; Petersen NJ
To ascertain why active and passive oral-anal and genital anal intercourse correlate strongly with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in homosexual men, we studied 22 men with HBV infection for the presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in gingival and anorectal mucosa, feces, and semen. Thirteen of 22 (59%) p


In vitro differentiation of human marrow T cell precursors by thymic factors in severe combined immunodeficiency.
Transplantation. 1981 Oct;32(4):299-305. Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE MED/82130166
Incefy GS; O'Reilly RJ; Kapoor N; Iwata T; Good RA
Marrow cells from 16 patients with severe combined immunodeficiency diseases (SCID) were examined for the presence of T cell precursors which could be induced to express surface markers and functions of T lymphocytes after exposure in vitro to thymic extracts or peptides of thymic origin (thymopoietin and thymopoietin


Neuroendocrine mechanisms and the aetiology of male and female homosexuality.
Br J Psychiatry. 1981 Oct;139:341-5. Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE MED/82114315
MacCulloch MJ; Waddington JL
Theories on the classification and aetiology of male homosexuality are reviewed, particularly recent hypotheses on the role of prenatal hormonal influences on brain sexual differentiation and subsequent sexual object choice in the male. Female as well as male brain sexual differentiation may be hormonally determined,


Synthesis of a viral protein with molecular weight of 30,000 (p30) by leukemic cells and antibodies cross-reacting with Simian sarcoma virus p30 in serum of a chronic myeloid leukemia patient.
Cancer Res. 1982 Feb;42(2):681-6. Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE MED/82115043
Derks JP; Hofmans L; Bruning HW; von Rood JJ
We studied a patient with a Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia, who died in relapse after multiple transfusions and grafting with bone marrow from his monozygotic twin brother (referred to as donor in this paper). We present data indicating that this patient may have had a retro-virus infection


Kaposi's sarcoma in young homosexual men.
Cutis. 1982 Jan;29(1):31-4. Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE MED/82116267
Myskowski PL; Romano JF; Safai B
An outbreak of KS has been observed in young homosexual men. These patients are different from those with classical KS for the following reasons: 1. geographic distribution (clustering in New York and California); 2. age (younger, mean--39 years); 3. higher incidence; 4. sexual preference (homosexual); 5. distribution


B cell, helper T cell, and suppressor T cell abnormalities contribute to disordered immunoglobulin synthesis in patients following bone marrow transplantation.
Transplantation. 1982 Feb;33(2):184-90. Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE MED/82130216
Korsmeyer SJ; Elfenbein GJ; Goldman CK; Marshall SL; Santos GW; Waldmann TA
The pathogenic mechanisms responsible for the hypogammaglobulinemia that occurs in patients who have undergone bone marrow transplantation were studied using peripheral blood lymphocytes in an in vitro immunoglobulin biosynthesis assay. None of the nine marrow recipients between 2 and 15 months after transplantation p
