The colon mucus antibody.

چکیده
One thousand one hundred and thirty sera from hospital patients under investigation for autoimmune disease were tested for colon mucus antibody and tissue antibodies. The sera with a positive mucus antibody were retested against a panel of test colons of known blood group using IgG, IgA, and IgM antihuman globulin fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugate. It was found that there was a variation between the results obtained with different test colons. This was considered to be due to a system in tissues of mucus isoantigens produced by the goblet cells of the colon. Using this panel of test colons raised the percentage of mucus antibodies detected in cases of ulcerative colitis from 14 to 37%. The presence of the mucus antibody was found to be shortlived in some patients. The colon mucus antibody was also found in thyroid disease and chronic asthma and the reasons for this finding are discussed.

Brachyspira hyodysenteriae binding to porcine colonic mucins differs between individuals 1 and is increased to mucins from infected pigs with de novo MUC 5 AC synthesis
25 Brachyspira hyodysenteriae colonizes the pig colon resulting in mucohemorrhagic diarrhea and 26 growth retardation. Fecal mucus is a characteristic feature of swine dysentery; therefore we 27 investigated how the mucin environment changes in the colon during infection with B. 28 hyodysenteriae, and how these changes affect this bacterium's interaction with mucins. We 29 isolated and characte...
متن کاملAn ex vivo method for studying mucus formation, properties, and thickness in human colonic biopsies and mouse small and large intestinal explants.
The colon mucus layers minimize the contact between the luminal flora and the epithelial cells, and defects in this barrier may lead to colonic inflammation. We now describe an ex vivo method for analysis of mucus properties in human colon and mouse small and large intestine. Intestinal explants were mounted in horizontal perfusion chambers. The mucus surface was visualized by adding charcoal p...
متن کاملStudies of mucus in mouse stomach, small intestine, and colon. I. Gastrointestinal mucus layers have different properties depending on location as well as over the Peyer's patches.
Colon has been shown to have a two-layered mucus system where the inner layer is devoid of bacteria. However, a complete overview of the mouse gastrointestinal mucus system is lacking. We now characterize mucus release, thickness, growth over time, adhesive properties, and penetrability to fluorescent beads from stomach to distal colon. Colon displayed spontaneous mucus release and all regions ...
متن کاملBacteria penetrate the normally impenetrable inner colon mucus layer in both murine colitis models and patients with ulcerative colitis
OBJECTIVE The inner mucus layer in mouse colon normally separates bacteria from the epithelium. Do humans have a similar inner mucus layer and are defects in this mucus layer a common denominator for spontaneous colitis in mice models and ulcerative colitis (UC)? METHODS AND RESULTS The colon mucus layer from mice deficient in Muc2 mucin, Core 1 O-glycans, Tlr5, interleukin 10 (IL-10) and Slc...

Studies have been made of mucus glycoprotein biosynthesis in different regions of the lower gastrointestinal tract in normal patients and those with ulcerative colitis (UC), active or inactive, by means of 3H-glucosamine (3H-GlcNH2)--35S-sulphate double labelling of epithelial biopsy specimens under culture conditions. The time based rate of 3H-GlcNH2 labelling of mucus in rectal tissue was sim...
