[Oligomeric and monomeric IgA and secretory piece in pleural effusions].
The pleural fluids of 40 patients have been examined. Out of 15 cases of pulmonary cancer the presence of the secretory piece has been noted in 10 cases and its absence in the remaining 25 cases of nonneoplastic pathogenesis. Through the bidimensional immunoelectrophoresis the presence both of a slow IgA fraction (L) and of a fast one (V) has been noted.
