Over time, the majority of cirrhotic patients develop hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), one of the most common fatal cancers worldwide- fourth for incidence rate. A high public health priority need is the development of biomarkers to screen for liver disease progression and for early diagnosis of HCC development, particularly in the high risk population represented by HCV-positive patients with cirrhosis. Several studies have shown that serological determination of a novel biomarker, squamous cell carcinoma antigen-immunoglobulins M(SCCA-Ig M), might be useful to identify patients with progressive liver disease. In the initial part of this review we summarize the main clinical studies that have investigated this new circulating biomarker on HCV-infected patients, providing evidence that in chronic hepatitis C SCCA-Ig M may be used to monitor progression of liver disease, and also to assess the virological response to antiviral treatment. In the last part of this review we address other, not less important, clinical applications of this biomarker in hepatology.展开更多
用硫酸铵分级盐析法纯化大菱鲆血清免疫球蛋白IgM,所得产物用Sepharose-4B和DEAE-Sepharose Fast Flow阴离子交换层析进一步纯化,以纯化的大菱鲆IgM免疫新西兰大白兔,获得兔抗大菱鲆IgM抗血清。SDS-PAGE电泳显示大菱鲆IgM重链为76 kD,...用硫酸铵分级盐析法纯化大菱鲆血清免疫球蛋白IgM,所得产物用Sepharose-4B和DEAE-Sepharose Fast Flow阴离子交换层析进一步纯化,以纯化的大菱鲆IgM免疫新西兰大白兔,获得兔抗大菱鲆IgM抗血清。SDS-PAGE电泳显示大菱鲆IgM重链为76 kD,轻链为27 kD;纯化的大菱鲆IgM重链与特异性抗血清具有较好的反应,而轻链与抗血清反应不明显;以制备的兔抗大菱鲆IgM抗血清为二抗建立了大菱鲆血清特异性抗体的间接ELISA检测方法,用该方法检测了鳗弧菌灭活疫苗免疫后大菱鲆产生特异性抗的变化规律,大菱鲆在免疫后第1周就产生了特异性抗体,在3周时达到峰值,该特异性抗体可维持13周以上。展开更多
