  • Title: [Local immune reactions in cholecystitis].
    Author: Gnatiuk MS.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1997; 156(6):19-21. PubMed ID: 9505380.
    Abstract:
    The amount of plasma cells synthesizing different class immunoglobulins in the gallbladder wall in 9 practically healthy people and in 19 patients with different forms of cholecystitis was studied by a complex of histological, histochemical and immunofluorescent methods. It was established that catarrhal cholecystitis was accompanied by activated production of immunoglobulins of all classes by plasmocytes of the gallbladder wall. In patients with destructive forms of cholecystitis the level of secretory immunoglobulin A was substantially decreased as well as the amount of plasmocytes synthesizing IgA. The amount of immunocytes producing IgM and IgG became disproportionally greater, there appeared immune IgM complexes and IgG and IgG in the wall of blood vessels and perivascular stroma. The author considers that local immune reactions play an important role in protection of the gallbladder mucosa and pathomorphogenesis of cholecystitis.
