Immunoglobulins in tissues of human benign prostatic hypertrophy.
The concentrations of immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA and IgM) have been determined in tissues of human benign prostatic hypertrophy by means of different immunological techniques. Results obtained show that IgA is quantitatively the most important immunoglobulin in prostatic tissue. Treatment with anti-androgens can change the Ig-pattern, in particular the levels of IgA and IgM.
