Melanoma. Associated antigens in benign melanocytic disorders

International Journal of Dermatology
J N FoxN E Levan

Abstract

Three instances of depigmentation occurring in children with congenital large nevocytic nevi are reported. Serologic studies for tumour-associated antigens to melanoma were performed by indirect immunofluorescence and complement fixation on these patients and others with benign melanocytic disorders. Positive reactivity in several children was observed. The small numbers studied and lack of uniformity of other testing methods leave open the question of relevance of such reactivity to malignant conversion or protection in congenital nevi.

Antibodies: Complement Activation

The complement system can be activated by antigen-associated antibody. In the classical pathway of complement activation, C1q, C4b, and C3b are all able to bind to the Fc portion of IgG or IgM. Find the latest research on antibodies and complement activation here.
