Abstract
Using an indirect immunoperoxidase staining technique we have demonstrated the plasma protein, prealbumin, in the cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Serial sections stained with antisera to glucagon, insulin and somatostatin revealed that the distribution of the prealbumin stained cells matched that of the glucagon Aβcells. Absorption and crossβabsorption experiments with prealbumin and glucagon showed that the staining was specific. We also found positive staining for prealbumin in single cells in the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, mainly stomach and colon, and kidney tubules.

hCDC47 is a human member of the MCM family, which has been implicated in the regulatory machinery causing DNA to replicate once per cell cycle. We examined its protein expression and localization in normal human tissues, using immunostaining with polyclonal antibodies. Positive nuclei were found in
The question as to whether other cell types apart from helper T lymphocytes are capable of producing interleukin-4 (IL-4) has gained much interest over the last years. Recent studies indicate that human basophils also produce IL-4, although direct proof is missing so far. In this study we demonstrat
