  • Title: Immunohistochemical identification of alpha-1-antitrypsin, alpha-1-antichymotrypsin, and lysozyme in focal hyperplastic gingivitis.
    Author: Kivens R, Sauk JJ, Vickers RA.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol; 1985 Feb; 59(2):167-71. PubMed ID: 3872433.
    Abstract:
    Tissues from twenty-four patients with focal hyperplastic gingival lesions containing calcification were stained for lysozyme (muramidase), alpha-1-antitrypsin, and alpha-1-antichymotrypsin. In eighteen of the twenty-four cases the tissues stained positively for lysozyme, and in all instances the tissues stained positively for alpha-1-antitrypsin and alpha-1-antichymotrypsin. These data suggest that the fibrous components of these lesions are derived from tissue histiocytes.
