Antigen Loss

In order to improve the accuracy and prognostic value of ABH blood group antigen loss in urothelial tumors, the effect of Lewis blood type and methodologic factors on detectability and distribution of blood group antigen A in human formalin-fixed, paraplast-embedded urothelium and endothelium was investigated by means of the Tween 20-modified indirect immunoperoxidase staining technique. Urothelium of Lea-b+ and Lea-b- individuals expressed significant higher amounts of blood group antigen A compared to urothelium of Lea+b- individuals. The expression on endothelial cells was related to vessel type and size, but not related to Lewis types. Compared to human anti-A, monoclonal anti-A demonstrated blood group antigen A with higher sensitivity and, due to reduced background staining, higher specificity. Consequently monoclonal anti-A detected blood group antigen A in the urothelium of Lea+b- individuals where human anti-A failed to stain, and different staining patterns became apparent. Both a two- to fourfold variation in the proportion between tissue section area and volume, and the volume of anti-A applied induced minor changes in sensitivity and specificity. The monoclonal anti-A method and knowledge about erythrocyte Lewis types might prove valuable in evaluating changes in blood group antigen-A expression in urothelial tumors.

Antigen A

Fluorescein- and ferritin-labelled antibodies were used to locate blood group antigen A on the surfaces of cultured rabbit kidney cells (RK 13). Fluorescent anti-A revealed the antigen on some cells, but not on others. Controls indicated that specific staining could be obtained. Comparable observations were made with ferritin-labelled antibody, and the comparatively high resolution of this method allowed individual antigen molecules to be located. Measurements were made of the distances between the centres of the ferritin molecules and the cell surface, and the position of the blood group antigen relative to the visible components of the membrane is discussed in relation to this.
