DNA typing in cases of blood chimerism

A chimera is an organism whose cells derive from two or more distinct zygote lineages. and therefore two different blood cell populations circulate in one individual. To point out the potential pitfalls in forensic analysis, a set of triplets (a girl and two boys) who revealed blood chimerism was investigated with four STR systems using PCR. The results indicated that a DNA profile based on DNA extracted from blood can lead to a false determination because the band pattern of each triplet contained a mixture of the original genotype and the genotype of the siblings. Additional investigations on biological materials other than blood must be made in order to find out the real genetic characteristics of each child.

Experience with the PCR-based HLA-DQα DNA typing system in routine forensic casework

Summary The results of HLA-DQ typing from 42 routine forensic cases using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were analyzed regarding the reliability, discrimination efficiency and informative value of this system in a given case. The cases included stain typing from a variety of different substrates, i.e. blood and semen stains, mixed body fluids, single hairs, cigarette butts, material from fingernail scratches, as well as identification and paternity cases on postmortem and fixed tissue. A total of 125 individual stain and tissue samples were included. PCR amplification was achieved in 70% of these samples. In cases with mixed body fluids, e.g. sperm and vaginal cells from rape cases, DQ typing was always carried out successfully. However, only approx. 42% of all samples that could be typed were relevant regarding the inclusion or exclusion of a suspect. This was mostly due to the limited number of alleles that can be typed at the HLA-DQ locus or to the fact that the stain or hair samples did not originate from the perpetrator, but from the victim or from other persons not related to the crime.     

Is the retractile testis a normal,physiological variant or an anomaly that requires active treatment?

Conventional teaching states that the retractile testis is a normal, physiological variant that descends spontaneously by puberty and requires no active treatment. Critical review of the literature, however, suggests that this complacent view may be inappropriate. Substantial overlap exists between the three seemingly separate entities of the late descending, the ascending and the retractile testes. This overlapping group probably accounts for the recently observed increased incidence of orchidopexies. Retractile testes that spend most of the time in an extrascrotal position are subject to the same adverse effects of higher temperatures as true undescended testes, regardless of whether they can be manipulated into the scrotum; what matters is where they actually reside most of the time. The evidence suggests that such retractile testes suffer similar pathological changes to true undescended testes if left to await spontaneous descent. Evidence is presented to support a radical, novel proposal that the retractile testis is a variant of the spectrum of pathological maldescended testes and requires active treatment. A new strategy is proposed for the management of this common pathology. Correspondence to: D. W. Goh     

Perspectives in transplantation immunology 1991

Summary The clinical success of organ transplantation depends to a large degree on the immunological acceptance of the grafted organ. This paper summarizes from an immunological point of view the recent progress that has been made to improve graft acceptance, and discusses some future aspects in the field. Over the last few years, major emphasis has been put on the development of new immunosuppressive drugs, including FK 506, rapamycin, and Deoxyspergualin. Together with monoclonal antibodies against defined T-cell surface antigens, there are now new and effective means available to prevent or treat rejection episodes. Progress has also been made in the field of HLA typing, where the introduction of molecular biology-based methods significantly increased the accuracy of HLA class II typing. The ultimate goal of transplantation immunology is the induction of (donor-) specific tolerance. While some protocols are effective in inducing peripheral tolerance in experimental animals, these regimens are at present not yet applicable in the clinical situation. To overcome the shortage of donor organs, alternative strategies are currently being considered. Among these, xenotransplantation may eventually prove successful, despite the massive immunological problems such as, e.g., the presence of preformed xenoreactive antibodies.Abbreviations CTL cytolytic T lymphocyte - HLA human leukocyte antigen - MHC major histocompatibility complex - PCR polymerase chain reaction - mAB monoclonal antibody - RFLP restriction fragment length polymorphism - TCR T-cell receptor Preprint of a lecture to be read at the 22nd Congress of the Gesellschaft für Nephrologie, Heidelberg, September 15–18, 1991 (Editor: Prof. Dr. E.

First experiences with HLA-matched corneal grafts in high risk cases

In highly vascularized corneas the number of graft failures caused by irreversible rejections is higher than in non- or slightly vascularized corneas. The importance of antigen compatibility is demonstrated, especially in these high risk cases.Ten highly vascularized corneas were grafted with HLA-matched donor material; only one reversible rejection was seen in this group.Nine non- or slightly vascularized corneas were grafted with donor material chosen at random. Retrospective HLA matching was performed. Three irreversible rejections were seen in this group. The number of HLA incompatibilities was high.
