Immunomorphologic study of pepsinogens in stomach cancer

Pepsinogens were studied in histological specimens of gastric carcinoma by indirect immunoperoxidase method. They were identified in 14 out of 24 intestinal tumors and in 2 out of 6 mixed carcinomas, but none was found in any of 10 diffuse carcinomas. Pepsinogen C was found in all pepsinogen-positiv...

Summary:Pepsinogens were studied in histological specimens of gastric carcinoma by indirect immunoperoxidase method. They were identified in 14 out of 24 intestinal tumors and in 2 out of 6 mixed carcinomas, but none was found in any of 10 diffuse carcinomas. Pepsinogen C was found in all pepsinogen-positive tumors, pepsinogen A--in 11 of them, and an antigen common with swine pepsin--in 2 tumors only. The pepsinogens were also observed in metastases of pepsinogen-positive primary tumors.
