The previously reported high prevalence of smooth muscle antibodies in neuroblastoma has been found to be associated with a similarly elevated prevalence of anti-cytoskeleton antibodies. The most relevant finding is related to anti-microfilaments (anti-actin) and anti-microtubules antibodies, which were detected with highly significantly different prevalences when compared with a disease control group (p < 0.001 and p < 0.000001, respectively). The correspondence between smooth muscle antibodies and anti-cytoskeleton antibodies is incomplete, and it is more relevant for anti-microfilaments. It is concluded that antigen specificities of smooth muscle antibodies in neuroblastoma are as complex as documented in other diseases. Possible pathogenetic and clinical implications emerging from these data are discussed.

Histochemical and chemical techniques have been used to identify, isolate and characterize elastin from certain bovine cartilages. The results strongly suggest that in addition to fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells, chondroblasts also synthesize elastin. Some of the possible functions of elastin in elastic cartilages are discussed and the possiblity of a new type of elastin perhaps unique to cartilage is suggested.
