The peroxidase-antiperoxidase histochemical method of staining for tissue carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was performed on 20 samples of malignant breast tissue, 20 samples of fibroadenomatous breast tissue, and 15 samples of breast tissue that variably contained minimal fibrosis (N = 7), ductal ecta

Elevated circulating CEA levels occur in patients with benign gastrointestinal and hepatic disorders. These are usually less than 10 ng/ml. Of clinical importance is the influence of liver disease on the interpretation of CEA. At least 50% of patients with severe benign hepatic disease have elevated
Twenty-two inflammatory, benign, or malignant parotid lesions were studied by means of the specific red cell adherence test (SRCA), a modification of the Coombs' mixed cell agglutination reaction. In 22 normal parotid tissues the acinar structures were devoid of red cell agglutination, but it was pr
Using direct immunofluorescence, lesions from 266 human breast specimens were studied for the presence of IgA, IgM, or IgG localization. The lesions included benign elements from 66 subcutaneous mastectomy specimens in which the absence of simultaneous breast malignancy was documented, primary breas
