Serum and scales of skin obtained from normal and psoriatic subjects are tested and estimated by immune diffusion and immune electrophoresis technics. The authors relate technics to produce rabbit's antibodies towards psoriatic serums and extracts of skin. Results coroborate the quantitative modifications of immunoglobulins and show in addition the presence of multiple precipitations lines in the alpha and gamma regions. Lastly, in psoriatic scales a globulin is found, which is not present in normal scales or normal serums.

The diagnostic potentialities of complex immunochemical analysis of the serum and daily urine were evaluated in 118 patients with multiple myeloma. In 95 patients, we observed secretion of monoclonal intact immunoglobulins with heavy chains G (N=69), A (N=19), and M (N=4) and biclonal secretion of paraproteins G and A (N=3). Bence-Jones protein was detected in the sera and daily urine of 16 patients and Bence-Jones proteinuria alone was detected in 3 patients.

Background: The prevalence of allergy to kiwifruit is increasing in Europe since the last two decades. Different proteins have been identified as kiwifruit allergens; even though with geographic differences, Act d 1, a cysteine protease protein of 30 kDa, and Act d 2, a thaumatin-like protein of 24 kDa, are normally considered the most important. The aim of this study was (i) to identify at molecular level the sensitization pattern in a group of well-characterized patients allergic to kiwifruit and (ii) to assess the role of technological treatments on kiwifruit allergenic potential.

In this study immunoelectrophoretic and double immunodiffusion analyses were used to investigate the antigenic character of zinc-binding proteins (ZnBPs), whereas the indirect immunofluorescence technique was used to identify their origin in boar reproductive tract. The mmunoelectrophoretic analysis of ZnBPs of the seminal plasma resulted in the appearance of three antigenic protein complexes, while specific immunoreactivity patterns of the anti-ZnBP serum were detected by double immunodiffusion analysis. Indirect immunofluorescence technique confirmed that ZnBPs were secreted by different reproductive tract tissues, suggesting their contributions to the seminal plasma.

Introduction: Creutzfeldt-Jakob's disease has various anatomoclinical presentations including a rare form with preponderant visual signs described by Heidenhain. In this form, the visual symptoms may be isolated for a few weeks, leading to multiple ophthalmological examinations.
Observation: We report the case of a 75-year-old woman who developed isolated visual disorders which rapidly increased over a period of two months.
