Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is common in people with former or current injection drug use. Among the patients in the opioid substitution treatment (OST) program in Gothenburg, Sweden, more than 50% had been infected with HCV. However, many patients did not have any follow-up for their infection and the linkage to treatment could be improved. METHODS A model of care for HCV was introduced at an OST unit in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 2017. The aim was to increase testing and linkage to HCV treatment. A nurse and a medical doctor, both specialized in infectious diseases, performed on-site testing at the OST unit with transient liver elastography (Fibroscan) to evaluate the fibrosis stage and initiated HCV treatment. This study retrospectively reviewed the patients' medical records to assess information regarding participation in the model of care, hepatitis C status, linkage to treatment and treatment outcome. RESULTS Among the 225 patients enrolled in OST at baseline, 181 were still in the OST program at the end of study (December 31st, 2018). In total, 29 patients, most of whom did not attend the Clinic of Infectious Diseases, were referred to the model of care. By the end of study, 17 patients (100% of those treated) reached sustained virologic response. In parallel, an additional 19 patients got treatment directly at the Clinic of Infectious Diseases. CONCLUSION Integrating HCV screening and examination in an OST unit successfully linked patients to treatment. However, not all patients received treatment. To reach the goal of eliminating HCV, different models of care are needed.

Abstract
Failures of mine tailings storage facilities (TSF) can have profound and long-lasting effects on the downstream receiving environment. Virtually all spills to date have been into river systems without large lakes that may buffer downstream impacts. In August 2014, the failure of the Mount Polley copper (Cu)-gold mine TSF in British Columbia, Canada, released ~25 × 106 m3 of water and solids; globally, this is the second largest TSF spill in history. Over 18 × 106 m3 was delivered to Quesnel Lake, which is ~9 km from the TSF and is the third deepest lake in North America, and a crucial habitat for Pacific salmon and trout populations. We determined the sediment-associated Cu concentrations and fluxes in Quesnel River, downstream of the lake, from August 2014 to February 2021 based on the analysis of >400 samples of sediment, mainly collected using a continuous-flow centrifuge. During each winter since the spill, Cu concentrations in the fluvial sediment in the upper reaches of the river (~35 km from the TSF) were elevated relative to regional background concentrations and samples collected before the spill. Maximum Cu concentrations were ~410 mg kg-1 which exceeds Canadian sediment quality guidelines for the protection of aquatic organisms (197 mg kg-1). Monitoring of Quesnel Lake since the spill shows that these annual pulses in the winter are due to resuspension of unconsolidated tailings and sediments at the bottom of Quesnel Lake, during autumnal lake turnover, which become mixed throughout the water column and subsequently flow into Quesnel River. Results show that while large lakes may buffer downstream aquatic systems from contaminated sediment, they may prolong the environmental impact. These findings are crucial in understanding how lake processes may modify the effects of TSF spills on downstream aquatic systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The tick Ixodes ricinus has considerable impact on the health of humans and other terrestrial animals because it transmits several tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) such as B. burgdorferi (sensu lato), which causes Lyme borreliosis (LB). Small forest patches of agricultural landscapes provide many ecosystem services and also the disservice of LB risk. Biotic interactions and environmental filtering shape tick host communities distinctively between specific regions of Europe, which makes evaluating the dilution effect hypothesis and its influence across various scales challenging. Latitude, macroclimate, landscape and habitat properties drive both hosts and ticks and are comparable metrics across Europe. Therefore, we instead assess these environmental drivers as indicators and determine their respective roles for the prevalence of B. burgdorferi in I. ricinus. METHODS We sampled I. ricinus and measured environmental properties of macroclimate, landscape and habitat quality of forest patches in agricultural landscapes along a European macroclimatic gradient. We used linear mixed models to determine significant drivers and their relative importance for nymphal and adult B. burgdorferi prevalence. We suggest a new prevalence index, which is pool-size independent. RESULTS During summer months, our prevalence index varied between 0 and 0.4 per forest patch, indicating a low to moderate disservice. Habitat properties exerted a fourfold larger influence on B. burgdorferi prevalence than macroclimate and landscape properties combined. Increasingly available ecotone habitat of focal forest patches diluted and edge density at landscape scale amplified B. burgdorferi prevalence. Indicators of habitat attractiveness for tick hosts (food resources and shelter) were the most important predictors within habitat patches. More diverse and abundant macro- and microhabitat had a diluting effect, as it presumably diversifies the niches for tick-hosts and decreases the probability of contact between ticks and their hosts and hence the transmission likelihood. CONCLUSIONS Diluting effects of more diverse habitat patches would pose another reason to maintain or restore high biodiversity in forest patches of rural landscapes. We suggest classifying habitat patches by their regulating services as dilution and amplification habitat, which predominantly either decrease or increase B. burgdorferi prevalence at local and landscape scale and hence LB risk. Particular emphasis on promoting LB-diluting properties should be put on the management of those habitats that are frequently used by humans. In the light of these findings, climate change may be of little concern for LB risk at local scales, but this should be evaluated further.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The castor bean tick (Ixodes ricinus) transmits infectious diseases such as Lyme borreliosis, which constitutes an important ecosystem disservice. Despite many local studies, a comprehensive understanding of the key drivers of tick abundance at the continental scale is still lacking. We analyze a large set of environmental factors as potential drivers of I. ricinus abundance. Our multi-scale study was carried out in deciduous forest fragments dispersed within two contrasting rural landscapes of eight regions, along a macroclimatic gradient stretching from southern France to central Sweden and Estonia. We surveyed the abundance of I. ricinus, plant community composition, forest structure and soil properties and compiled data on landscape structure, macroclimate and habitat properties. We used linear mixed models to analyze patterns and derived the relative importance of the significant drivers. RESULTS Many drivers had, on their own, either a moderate or small explanatory value for the abundance of I. ricinus, but combined they explained a substantial part of variation. This emphasizes the complex ecology of I. ricinus and the relevance of environmental factors for tick abundance. Macroclimate only explained a small fraction of variation, while properties of macro- and microhabitat, which buffer macroclimate, had a considerable impact on tick abundance. The amount of forest and the composition of the surrounding rural landscape were additionally important drivers of tick abundance. Functional (dispersules) and structural (density of tree and shrub layers) properties of the habitat patch played an important role. Various diversity metrics had only a small relative importance. Ontogenetic tick stages showed pronounced differences in their response. The abundance of nymphs and adults is explained by the preceding stage with a positive relationship, indicating a cumulative effect of drivers. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that the ecosystem disservices of tick-borne diseases, via the abundance of ticks, strongly depends on habitat properties and thus on how humans manage ecosystems from the scale of the microhabitat to the landscape. This study stresses the need to further evaluate the interaction between climate change and ecosystem management on I. ricinus abundance.

Abstract
Extensive changes in land cover during the 20th century are known to have had detrimental effects on biodiversity in rural landscapes, but the magnitude of change and their ecological effects are not well known on regional scales. We digitized historical maps from the beginning of the 20th century over a 1652 km(2) study area in southeastern Sweden, comparing it to modern-day land cover with a focus on valuable habitat types. Semi-natural grassland cover decreased by over 96 % in the study area, being largely lost to afforestation and silviculture. Grasslands on finer soils were more likely to be converted into modern grassland or arable fields. However, in addition to remaining semi-natural grassland, today's valuable deciduous forest and wetland habitats were mostly grazed grassland in 1900. An analysis of the landscape-level biodiversity revealed that plant species richness was generally more related to the modern landscape, with grazing management being a positive influence on species richness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main goals are to investigate the effects of chronic active heavy drinking on N-acetylaspartate (NAA) and other metabolites throughout the brain and to determine whether they are affected by family history (FH) of alcoholism and long-term drinking pattern. METHODS Forty-six chronic heavy drinkers (HD) and 52 light drinkers (LD) were recruited from the community and compared on measures of regional brain structure using magnetic resonance imaging and measures of common brain metabolites in gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) of the major lobes, subcortical nuclei, brainstem, and cerebellum using short-echo time magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging. Regional atrophy-corrected levels of NAA, myoinositol (mI), creatine, and choline-containing metabolites were compared as a function of group, FH of alcoholism, and bingeing. RESULTS Frontal WM NAA was lower in FH-negative HD than FH-positive HD and tended to be lower in women than men. Creatine-containing metabolites in parietal GM were higher in HD than LD. FH-negative compared with FH-positive HD also had more mI in the brainstem and tended to have lower NAA and more mI in frontal GM. Although parietal GM NAA was not significantly lower in HD than LD, it was lower in non-binge drinkers than bingers. Frontal WM NAA was lower in HD than LD, with the difference driven by a small number of women, FH-negative HD, and older age. Lower frontal WM NAA in HD was associated with lower executive and working memory functions and with lower P3b amplitudes at frontal electrodes. CONCLUSIONS Community-dwelling HD who are not in alcoholism treatment have brain metabolite changes that are associated with lower brain function and are likely of behavioral significance. Age, FH, and binge drinking modulate brain metabolite abnormalities. Metabolite changes in active HD are less pronounced and present with a different spatial and metabolite pattern than reported in abstinent alcoholics.

Abstract
Glutamine is the principal energy source for enterocytes, but it is not known whether parenteral or enteral supplementation is most beneficial to gut integrity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of glutamine in uni- or bidirectional supply on the viability of intestinal mucosa of starved rats during incubation in Ussing chambers. Segments of jejunum from rats starved for 48 h were randomly mounted in Ussing chambers with three nutrient solutions: Krebs buffer without glutamine; 6 mM glutamine added to the mucosal side; 6 mM glutamine added to the mucosal side and 0.6 mM glutamine to the serosal side. ATP content of the mucosa, electrophysiology, and 51Cr-ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) permeability were studied during 180 min of incubation. The addition of glutamine to both sides of the stripped mucosa improved ATP levels compared to the Krebs solution (P < 0.05), and the addition of glutamine resulted in an increase in short circuit current (P < 0.05). No significant differences were seen in 51Cr-EDTA permeability or epithelial electrical resistance. Glutamine supplementation to both the luminal and serosal side in the Ussing chamber was more effective than luminal glutamine only in maintaining ATP levels of intestinal mucosa. Bidirectional supplementation of glutamine might improve intestinal energy metabolism and viability in in vitro studies.

Abstract
Two methods, confocal scanning laser microscopy and confocal micro-Raman spectroscopy were used to analyse the distribution of IgG antibodies immobilized on CNBr-activated agarose beads. In the first method the internal distribution profile of fluorescent labelled Protein A was used as an indirect measure of the distribution of IgG, while the second method detects vibrations originating from aromatic amino acids present in the immobilized antibodies. Both these methods indicate an homogeneous ligand distribution within IgG Sepharose 4 Fast Flow and IgG Sepharose 6 Fast Flow.

Abstract
Infrared spectra of mixtures of water and deuteroacetonitrile containing the Cr3+ cation have been studied as a function of concentration, time and temperature. The CN stretching vibration of CD3CN molecules has been used as a probe of the structural environments. The CN band in the spectra of the solutions is a superposition of four subbands, which may be attributed to CD3CN bound in the first, second, and third solvation shells of the cation and to non-bound CD3CN. The character of changes of the integral intensities of the subbands with time for various H2O:Cr3+ molar ratios are explained by suggesting mechanisms of molecular replacement within the solvation shells of Cr3+.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Starvation induces an increase in intestinal permeability that can be of importance to intestinal integrity. Glutamine is the principal energy source for intestinal enterocytes and is considered essential for gut metabolism, structure and function. The aim of this study was to investigate whether glutamine could improve the ATP content of the mucosa of starved rats and attenuate the permeability perturbation during incubation in vitro in Ussing chamber. METHODS Segments of jejunum from rats starved for 48 h were mounted in Ussing chambers. Glutamine was added to Krebs-buffer at 0.6mM, 3mM, 6mM and 30mM concentrations on the mucosal side. Cr-EDTA permeation, ATP content of the epithelium mucosa and electrophysiology were studied during 180 min of incubation in Ussing chambers. RESULT These was a negative linear correlation between ATP content and(51)Cr-EDTA permeability in stripped mucosa. ATP content was reduced in all groups during the experiment. When 30 mM glutamine was added on the mucosal side there was an increase in(51)Cr-EDTA permeability (P< 0.001). There was no effect of glutamine on transepithelial resistance but higher concentrations of glutamine (>3mM) significantly increased the short circuit current. CONCLUSION Supplementing glutamine to the mucosal side in the Ussing chamber led to an increase in ion pump activity and to an increase in paracellular permeability at the 30mM glutamine concentration. Glutamine did not restore the intracellular ATP level. The increase in permeability was inversely correlated to the mucosal ATP content.

Abstract
Platelets express leukotriene (LT) C4 synthase and can thus participate in the formation of bioactive LTC4. To further elucidate the relevance of this capability, we have now determined the capacity of human platelets to export LTC4. Endogenously formed LTC4 was efficiently released from human platelets after incubation with LTA4 at 37 degrees C, whereas only 15% of produced LTC4 was exported when the cells were incubated at 0 degrees C. The activation energy of the process was calculated to 49.9 +/- 7.7 kJ/mol, indicating carrier-mediated LTC4 export. This was also supported by the finding that the transport was saturable, reaching a maximal export rate of 470 +/- 147 pmol LTC4/min x 10(9) platelets. Furthermore, markedly suppressed LTC4 transport was induced by a combination of the metabolic inhibitors antimycin A and 2-deoxyglucose, suggesting energy-dependent export. The presence in platelets of multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1), a protein described to be an energy-dependent LTC4 transporter in various cell types, was demonstrated at the mRNA and protein level. Additional support for a role of MRP1 in platelet LTC4 export was obtained by the findings that the process was inhibited by probenecid and the 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) inhibitor, MK-886. The present findings further support the physiological relevance of platelet LTC4 production.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maintenance of intestinal integrity is essential after major abdominal surgery in malnourished subjects. The purpose of this experimental study was to investigate factors affecting small-bowel mucosa permeability in vitro in the immediate postoperative period in starved rats. METHODS Male Wistar rats were randomly placed in five groups: Controls, Anesthesia, Resection, Starvation, and Starvation + resection. Controls consisted of fed rats. Anesthesia was induced intraperitoneally with xylazine and ketamine. Resection was 5 cm of the mid-jejunum, and the starvation period was 48 h. Two hours after surgery stripped mucosal segments from the jejunum and the ileum were mounted in Ussing chambers, and the transmucosal permeation of 51Cr-labeled ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and dextran (40,000 Da) was studied for 120 min while electrophysiology was monitored. RESULTS Starvation increased permeability to 51Cr-EDTA in both the jejunum and ileum. In the jejunum permeability was further increased by starvation + resection. Resection or anesthesia alone did not increase permeability. The villous height in the jejunum was reduced by starvation. Mucosal permeability was correlated to the change in transepithelial resistance during experiments. CONCLUSIONS Starvation was the main cause of increased mucosal permeability in both intestinal segments of the rat, but surgical trauma had an additive effect, which was most pronounced in the jejunum.

Abstract
Equine granulocyte suspensions, mainly consisting of neutrophils, failed to produce detectable amounts of leukotrienes when stimulated with calcium ionophore A23187 alone, whereas leukotrienes were dose-dependently formed in control incubations with human granulocytes. In contrast, ionophore A23187 initiated synthesis of leukotrienes B4 and C4 in equine granulocytes when added in combination with low concentrations of exogenous arachidonic acid. Similarly, ionophore A23187 provoked leukotriene biosynthesis when added alone to human whole blood, whereas addition of exogenous arachidonic acid was a prerequisite for ionophore A23187-induced leukotriene formation in equine whole blood. Leukotriene biosynthesis was provoked by A23187 alone after addition of homologous platelets to equine granulocyte suspensions. After separation of equine neutrophils and eosinophils, purified eosinophil suspensions produced LTC4 after stimulation with ionophore A23187 alone, whereas exogenous arachidonic acid was required for ionophore-induced LTB4 formation in purified neutrophil suspensions. Leukotriene synthesis in both eosinophils and neutrophils was suppressed by the 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP) inhibitor, MK-886. Exogenous arachidonic acid was needed for ionophore-induced leukotriene synthesis also in bovine granulocytes, but was not a prerequisite for the production of leukotrienes in porcine granulocytes or in rat and rabbit white blood cell suspensions. The results indicate differences in the mechanisms regulating leukotriene synthesis in equine neutrophils, as compared to human granulocytes or equine eosinophils, and suggest that elevation of intracellular calcium is an insufficient stimulus to provoke utilisation of endogenous arachidonic acid for leukotriene synthesis in equine neutrophils.

Abstract
Zinc acetate was used for the treatment and prophylaxis of hepatic copper toxicosis in 3 Bedlington Terriers and 3 West Highland White Terriers. Two dogs of each breed were treated for 2 years, and 1 of each breed for 1 year. A dosage of 200 mg of elemental zinc per day was required to achieve therapeutic objectives related to copper, which included a doubling of plasma zinc concentration to 200 micrograms/dl and a suppression of oral 64 copper absorption. The dosage was later reduced to 50 to 100 mg/day to avoid an excessive increase in plasma zinc concentration. The preliminary clinical results were good. Three dogs had mild to moderate active liver disease and high liver copper concentrations at the time of initiation of zinc administration. Biopsy of the liver 2 years later revealed a reduction in hepatitis and copper concentrations. One other dog without active hepatitis also had a reduction in hepatic copper concentrations over a 2-year period. All 6 dogs have done well clinically. On the basis of these findings, we believe zinc acetate to be an effective and nontoxic treatment for copper toxicosis in dogs.

Abstract
The expression of tumour markers CA 19-9 and CA 50, defined by the monoclonal antibodies 1116 NS 19-9 (19-9 antibody) and C 50, was studied by the immunoperoxidase technique in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections from 11 hepatocellular carcinomas and 10 cholangiocarcinomas of the liver, and from specimens of normal liver and liver cirrhosis. The 19-9 and C 50 antibodies react with sialosylfucosyllactotetraose, corresponding to sialylated blood group antigen Lewis, and the C 50 antibody also with another sugar moiety, sialosyllactotetraose. Neither marker was cancer specific. The CA 19-9 and CA 50 antigens are normal constituents of bile ducts. Nine out of 10 cholangiocarcinomas stained for CA 50, and eight out of 10 for CA 19-9. There was no apparent difference between the staining pattern of CA 19-9 and CA 50. Hepatocellular carcinomas were consistently negative for both markers. Thus, hepatocellular carcinomas and cholangiocarcinomas showed a clear difference in the reactivity for tumour marker antigens CA 19-9 and CA 50. This difference might be of clinical importance in the differential diagnosis between hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma.

Abstract
Three different biological properties--glucose metabolism, gallium imaging and antigen-antibody interaction--have been targeted to image human tumor xenografts implanted in nude mice. Seventy-two experiments were performed in 25 nude mice. Two types of human tumors were used: colorectal carcinoma SW 1116 and melanoma WM 9. Immunoscintigraphic studies produced the highest tumor sampling and confirmed earlier findings that F(ab')2 fragments generate better tumor images than whole antibodies.

Abstract
The expression of a novel tumour associated antigen CA 242, defined by the monoclonal antibody C 242, was studied by immunoperoxidase staining in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections from normal pancreata, pancreata with pancreatitis and benign and malignant pancreatic neoplasms. The antigenic determinant of the C 242 antibody is a sialylated carbohydrate structure, related but chemically different from tumour marker antigens CA 19-9 and CA 50. Thirty-eight of 41 (93%) well to moderately differentiated ductal adenocarcinomas of the pancreas and all cystadenocarcinomas were positive for CA 242. The staining was most intense in the apical border of the cells, and in the intraluminal mucus. Only two out of seven poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas stained, and the number of positive cells was smaller than in well differentiated carcinomas. Only occasional cells were stained in one out of five anaplastic carcinomas. Part of large ducts were positive in 91% (21/23) specimens of chronic pancreatitis. In acute pancreatitis small terminal ducts, centro-acinar cells and some large ducts stained for CA 242. In normal pancreas only a few small terminal ducts were CA 242 positive. Carcinomas always stained more strongly for CA 242 than normal pancreatic tissue adjacent to the carcinoma. The results of CA 242 are compared with those of tumour marker antigens CA 50 and CA 19-9. Serum CA 242 levels were determined in 23 of the patients with pancreatic cancer using a fluoroimmunoassay. Fifteen (65%) patients had an elevated value. There was no clear-cut correlation between the serum levels and the immunohistochemical expression of the CA 242 antigen. The expression of CA 242 in pancreatic tissue resembles that of CA 50 and is similar to CA 19-9. The antigen is expressed in serum of many patients with pancreatic cancer and, therefore, is a potential candidate for a serum tumour marker.

Abstract
Human recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), labeled with 131I(1.1 to 6.2 mCi) by the iodogen method, was administered intravenously to 15 patients with various soft-tissue malignant tumors after blocking of thyroidal radioiodine uptake. Gamma camera imaging was performed 4 and 24 hr after injection; three patients were also imaged 5 days following injection. We observed accumulation of radioactivity in primary and secondary lesions in 11 patients. In this preliminary study we did not detect any definite association between the magnitude of uptake and type of tumor. Tumors were usually visualized already after 4 hr but the uptake was more intense at 24 hr. The target-to-nontarget ratios at 24 hr, determined by computer analysis of stored images, varied from less than 1.2 to 2.1. This is the first demonstration of accumulation of radiolabeled tPA in malignant tissue. We do not know the mechanism of the uptake but because tPA is known to be avidly bound to fibrin, a component of the stroma of many malignant tumors, it is possible that [131I]tPA is bound to fibrin rather than taken up by the malignant cell; various possible cell uptake mechanisms are discussed. Due to the relatively early maximal uptake of this radiopharmaceutical it will be possible to substitute 123I for 131I, a possibility suggesting a potential clinical use of radioiodinated tPA for the detection of malignant tumors of various origin.

Abstract
The concentration of the ovarian cancer associated antigen CA 125 was determined in the pleural fluid of 25 patients with lung cancer and of 40 patients with benign diseases. Paired serum and pleural fluid samples were measured in 21 tumor patients and 34 patients with nonmalignant diseases. Serum CA 125 was elevated (greater than 35 U/ml) in 16 of 25 (64%) patients with carcinoma and 13 of 34 (38%) patients with benign diseases. The CA 125 level in serum was markedly elevated (greater than 200 U/ml) in five of six adenocarcinomas whereas a slightly elevated level was associated with only one of four mesotheliomas and with one of three secondary carcinomas. The pleural fluid concentration of CA 125 was higher than the serum value in 90% of the patients, showing a median ratio of 4.9, respectively. Pleural fluid values higher than 250 U/ml were seen in 18 of 25 (72%) subjects with pleural effusion due to malignancy and in 10 of 40 (25%) patients in the benign group. There were no apparent differences in the pleural fluid CA 125 levels in patients having different types of cancer and different benign diseases.

Abstract
The expression of the tumor marker antigen CA 50, defined by the monoclonal antibody (MAb) C 50, was studied by the immunoperoxidase technique in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections from normal pancreata, from pancreata with pancreatitis and from benign and malignant pancreatic neoplasms. The results were compared with those obtained with Mab 1116 NS 19-9. The C 50 antibody reacts, like the 1116 NS 19-9 antibody, with sialosylfucosyllactotetraose (corresponding to sialylated blood group antigen Lewisa), but also with another sugar moiety, sialosyllactotetraose. Thirty-two of 37 well- to moderately-differentiated adenocarcinomas and all cystadenocarcinomas were positive for CA 50. The staining was most intense in the apical border of the cells, and in the intraluminal mucus. The number of positive cells was smaller in poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas and only occasional cells were stained in anaplastic carcinomas. In acute and chronic pancreatitis small terminal ducts, centro-acinar cells and some large ducts stained for CA 50. In normal pancreas only a few small terminal ducts were CA-19-9-positive, whereas both ducts and centro-acinar cells were C-50-positive. Normal pancreatic tissue adjacent to carcinoma usually stained more strongly for CA 50 than the carcinoma, whereas the opposite was true for CA 19-9. Eight out of 11 CA-19-9-negative carcinomas were CA-50-positive. Serous cystadenomas and malignant islet-cell tumors were focally positive for CA 50, but negative for CA 19-9. It seems apparent that the C 50 antibody reacts with another determinant than sialylated Lewisa in CA-19-9-negative specimens, serous cystadenomas and malignant islet-cell tumors. Serum CA 50 and CA 19-9 levels were determined in 29 patients with pancreatic cancer. The sensitivity was similar for both markers (76%), and there was a positive correlation between the serum levels. However, there was no correlation between the serum levels and the histological expression of the CA 50 and CA 19-9 antigens.

Abstract
The expression of the carbohydrate antigen CA 19-9 in human gastric mucosa was studied by using the monoclonal 1116 NS 19-9 antibody, immunohistochemical ABC staining technique and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded biopsy specimens. Among 26 gastric carcinoma (GCA) patients CA 19-9 antigen was found in 16 patients (62%). The antigen was also found in 10 (48%) out of 21 non-cancer patients who had benign gastric ulcer and in 9 (12%) out of 74 non-ulcer, non-cancer patients. In non-cancerous mucosa, the CA 19-9 antigen was localized in the surface epithelium (foveolar type of staining) and/or in goblet cells and sometimes in absorptive epithelium of metaplastic intestinal glands (goblet cell type). The foveolar type but not the goblet cell type was related to the nonsecretor status of the subject, to Le positivity and to anti-H negativity of the gastric surface epithelium. It is concluded that, although being commonly present in GCA tissue, the expression of the antigen in benign gastric tissue is too common to advocate the practical value of CA 19-9 in predicting malignant gastric lesions in immunohistochemistry.

Abstract
The expression of the gastrointestinal cancer associated antigen CA 19-9, defined by the monoclonal antibody 1116 NS 19-9, was studied by immunoperoxidase staining in routine formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections from normal pancreata, pancreata with pancreatitis and from benign and malignant pancreatic neoplasms. The formalin-fixed specimens were treated with pepsin, which enhanced the staining intensity. Eighty-five per cent of well to moderately differentiated adenocarcinomas were positive. The staining was most intense in the apical border of cells lining the lumina of malignant glands, and in mucus inside the lumina, but cytoplasmic staining was also seen. In poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas the number of positive cells was smaller and in anaplastic carcinomas only occasional cells were stained. All mucinous cystadenomas and cystadenocarcinomas stained intensely, whereas serous cystadenomas, and all benign and malignant islet cell tumours were negative. Ducts in chronic pancreatitis and in normal pancreata were positive in 96% and 79%, respectively, but the staining was focal and usually weaker than in carcinomas. In acute pancreatitis (92% positive) the staining was more intense, and the CA 19-9 expression was seen predominantly in small terminal ducts and in centroacinar cells. There was an apparent correlation between the degree of differentiation of the ductal adenocarcinomas and the expression of CA 19-9, whereas the correlation between tissue expression and serum levels of CA 19-9 was poor.

Abstract
Over 600 hybridomas were derived from the immunization of mice with live cells and aqueous extracts of the human prostatic carcinoma cell line PC3. A total of 26 hybridomas with restricted reactivities were selected, subcloned and antibodies tested on a variety of tumor and normal cells. Seven monoclonal antibodies showed reactivity for prostate cancer and other tumor cell lines, including breast carcinomas. Three of the antibodies obtained after immunization with live cells reacted with live cells only and three of the four antibodies obtained after immunization with cell extract reacted with cell extracts and spent culture media. The fourth antibody in the latter group was reactive only in the immunoperoxidase staining assay. Antibody PrS5 recognized a 90,000 molecular weight molecule from 125I-surface-labeled cells in immunoprecipitation analysis. Antibodies PrE3 and PrD8 detected a nonacid glycolipid pentasaccharide from PC3 cells and meconium, and a glycoprotein of 115,000 molecular weight from 125I-surface-labeled red blood cells. The similar patterns of reactivity in RIAs and antigen analysis suggest that antibodies PrE3 and PrD8 recognize the same molecule. The results emphasize the usefulness of immunohistochemistry in the testing of monoclonal antibodies and the impact of the form in which the antigen is presented on the resultant antibody specificity.

Abstract
Eight monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) raised against human prostate cancer cell lines are described. One MAb was derived from the fusion of mouse myeloma P3x63Ag8-653 cells with spleen cells of mice immunized with DU145 prostate cancer cells. The other seven were from the fusion of myeloma lines P3x63Ag8-653 or SP2/0 with spleen cells of mice immunized with PC3, DU145 and 1013L prostate cancer cells. All of the antibodies also reacted with cell lines of other human cancer types, especially carcinomas. Immunoperoxidase staining on fixed tissue revealed strong reactivity only with antibody PrN10. Seven other antibodies seemed to bind to cell surface-associated (glyco)proteins. Antibodies PrL22 and PrO11 showed similar reactivity in radioimmunoassay, and immunoprecipitated a 160 kD molecular weight polypeptide from [125I]lactoperoxidase-labeled cells. Antibodies PrHk an PrQ12 bound to molecules with apparent MW of 115 kD and 100 kD, respectively; antibodies PrM24 and PrP14 revealed a more complex picture in immunoprecipitation of surface-labeled cells.

Abstract
Four major carcinoembryonic antigen-related glycopeptides (Mr 180,000, 160,000, 50,000, and 40,000) were detected in SW948 colon carcinoma cells and in colon adenocarcinoma tissue using a monoclonal antibody (C(4)20-32) generated by immunizing mice with SW1222 human colon carcinoma cells. Only the Mr 50,000 polypeptide was immunoprecipitated from normal colon mucosa by this antibody. Binding studies using other monoclonal antibodies and lectins indicated the different epitopes and carbohydrate attachment sites on each of the four polypeptides. Only monoclonal antibody C(4)20-32 recognized a common determinant on all four polypeptides which was revealed by its reactivity with each affinity-purified component.

Abstract
Of 14 monoclonal antibodies produced in six different laboratories, 13 bound to purified preparations of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). All antibodies reacted to spent medium of colorectal carcinoma cell lines. Competitive binding studies indicated that 12 different antigenic determinants representing six different groups were detected on the CEA molecule(s). Six antibodies were used in double determinant radioimmunoassays (RIA) to detect CEA and CEA-related antigens in sera of 311 patients with various gastrointestinal diseases and of normal donors. None of up to 115 sera of healthy donors had elevated antigen levels with four out of the six monoclonal antibodies tested, whereas up to 9% of sera showed elevated antigen levels when tested with two antibodies. Between 1.4% and 4.4% of sera from patients with inflammatory and benign neoplastic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract were positive. Antigen levels were elevated in 56 to 75% (depending on antibody used) of sera from patients with advanced gastrointestinal tumors. These preliminary results indicate that double-determinant immunoassays with a panel of monoclonal antibodies might improve conventional CEA assays by reducing the number of false positive sera detected by polyclonal sera in patients with benign inflammatory bowel diseases.

Abstract
Fusion of immune spleen cells of mice immunized with CEA with a mouse myeloma cell line resulted in several hybrid cell lines secreting antibodies to CEA as tested by radio-immunoassay. Four of these were cloned by limiting dilution and large amounts of anti-CEA antibodies were produced by growing the anti-CEA-producing cell clones intraperitoneally in mice and collecting the ascites fluids formed. Ascites fluids containing antibodies with both high and low affinity were obtained. The antibody having the highest affinity was shown to be specific to CEA, whereas one antibody showed cross-reaction with the normal cross-reacting antigen (NCA). The establishment of a competitive-inhibition doubleantibody radio-immunoassad with high sensitivity and specificity using mouse monoclonal antibodies is described.

Abstract
Mouse monoclonal antibodies to carcinoembryogenic antigen (CEA) obtained by the somatic cell hybridization technique of Köhler and Milstein were used in a modified enzyme bridge immunoperoxidase staining method. Both high and low affinity antibodies were tested and their staining properties compared with those of a commercial polyvalent rabbit antiserum. The staining pattern of neoplastic epithelial cells in all seven antibodies in samples of primary adenocarcinoma of the colon was similar, indicating that no gross differences were found in the exposure of the different antigenic determinants of CEA in formalin fixed tissue. The background staining of the monoclonal antibodies are negligible. It is concluded that monoclonal antibodies are superior to conventional antisera in immunoperoxidase staining of CEA.

Abstract
Serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP) levels were studied in 15 neonatally hyperbilirubinaemic children and 15 controls matched for sex and gestational age. All children were born between 38 and 40 weeks of gestation. During the first seven weeks of postnatal life hyperbilirubinaemic children had serum AFP concentrations over twice as high as controls. At the age of 5-7 days the mean (+/- S.E.M.) serum AFP values were 52.4 +/- 5.8 mg/l for hyperbilirubinaemic children and 24.8 +/- 4.3 mg/l for controls (p less than 0.001). At 20-25 days of age they were 7.28 +/- 1.10 and 2.75 +/- 0.45 mg/l, respectively (p less than 0.001), and at 40-49 days 1.39 +/- 0.21 and 0.46 +/- 0.07 mg/l (p less than 0.001). However, no correlation was found between serum bilirubin and AFP concentrations in hyperbilirubinaemic children.

Abstract
The occurrence of CEA was extensively adsorbed to eliminate cross-reactions with CEA-related antigens. After the first trimester of pregnancy CEA was found throughout the gastrointestinal tract by both techniques, whereas the other fetal tissues and fetal serum did not contain detectable amounts of CEA. The CEA-level of all 69 sera of pregnant women was below 2.5 ng/ml. The excretory nature of CEA was suggested by the localization of CEA in the luminal border of the alimentary tract and by the finding that the CEA concentration in the content of fetal gastrointestinal canal was higher than in the surrounding tissue. Gel filtration on Sepharose 4B showed that molecular weight of CEA immunoreactive material of the fetal gut was similar to that of CEA purified from colon cancer, but a minor component with a higher molecular weight was eluted in the void volume. When tested in radioimmunoassay, the CEA immunoreactive material in both peaks gave an inhibition curve parallel to that of purified CEA.

Abstract
The measurement of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in serum and endoscopic brush specimens was evaluated for the differential diagnosis of malignant and nonmalignant gastric disease. Brush specimens were studied from 33 patients with gastric cancer and 36 patients with benign gastric lesions or apparently normal gastric mucosa. Demonstrable CEA immunoreactivity was found by radioimmunoassay in brush specimens from 24/33 cancer patients (73%) and from 23/36 patients with benign lesions (64%). Patients with CEA+ tissue in the immunoperoxidase test had somewhat higher CEA concentrations in the brush specimens than cases with CEA- biopsy tissue, although overlap was considerable. Thirty-five per cent of cancer patients had both a positive tissue CEA reaction and a CEA/DNA ratio greater than 10 ng/micrograms, whilst patients with benign lesions had only 15% of positives by these criteria (0.01 greater than P greater than 0.001). The serum CEA concentration was above the upper normal level of 5 ng/ml in 2/39 patients, both of whom had gastric cancer. The CEA immunoreactive material from benign and malignant lesions eluted in gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 in the same volume as CEA purified from liver metastases of cancer of the colon, showing that a glycoprotein sharing immunological and physicochemical properties with CEA is present both in malignant and nonmalignant lesions of the gastric mucosa, and that there is considerable overlapping in the amount of CEA. The estimation of CEA in gastric-brush specimens is therefore of limited value in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant gastric lesions.
