title: [Immunomorphologic detection of apoprotein B antigenic determinants in the gallbladder wall in cholesterosis and cholelithiasis].
abstract: The presence and location of apoprotein B (Apo B) antigenic determinants in cholesterosis and cholelithiasis in gall bladder wall were detected for elaboration of modified Apo B role in pathogenesis of these diseases. Macroscopically changed parts of gall bladder (GB) wall of patients with gall bladder cholesterosis (GBC), and also macroscopically unchanged parts of GB wall of patients with cholelithiasis (CL) after cholecystectomy were studied. Macroscopically unchanged parts of GB wall obtained during autopsy of persons without symptoms of GB pathology were used as a control. Apo B location was studied with monoclonal (MAB 5F8 to Apo B) and polyclonal (PAB) antibodies; Apo B modified by malonic dialdehyde and oxidized by Cu2+ (4C11), Apo A with MAB1C5. Antibodies to CD 68 (specific marker of macrophages) was positive control, antibodies to trichinella--negative control. The most intensive accumulation of modified Apo B was revealed in foam cells region with accumulate lipids and form polyps that testifies to connection of apoproteins with lipids and foam cells and suggests their role in pathogenesis of GBC. More intensive staining of GB epithelial cells, particularly on GB peripheral parts by antibodies to apoproteins compared with surrounding tissues shows that bile is the source of detected modified apoproteins. Increase of absorption and accumulation of apoproteins in GB wall were also revealed in CL but these processes are less intensive than in GBS.
