Reactive mesothelial hyperplasia vs mesothelioma, including mesothelioma in situ: a brief review
This article was a review of how to tell reactive mesothelial hyperplasia, a benign reaction of the lining cells, from epithelial mesothelioma in biopsy tissue, and of the idea of mesothelioma in situ. It summarized the…

Simian virus (SV) 40 like sequences in cell lines and tumour biopsies from Australian malignant mesotheliomas
…its gene products in tissue derived from mesotheliomas would detract from this possibility. We used polymerase chain reaction from three pairs of primers to amplify different regions of the large T antigen from DNA from cell…

Expression and integrity of DNA topoisomerase II isoforms does not explain generic drug resistance in malignant mesothelioma
…Coupled with this, we have previously noted a common serological reaction to the beta isoform of topoisomerase II, suggesting that it may be aberrantly expressed in patients with mesothelioma. We assessed the expression of topoisomerase II…

Unusual granular reactivity for carcinoembryonic antigen in malignant mesothelioma
…biopsies and three cell blocks from pleural effusions. Four tumours were epithelial and one was bimorphic. Immunoelectron microscopy in one case showed reaction product mainly associated with cytoplasmic vesicles, possibly Golgi-derived, and rough endoplasmic reticulum…

The mesothelium and its reactions: a review
The origins, nature, and reactions of the mesothelium have intrigued investigators for over 100 years. Recently, the use of sophisticated techniques has clarified earlier impressions of its development, structure, and function. The structure of mesothelium reflects…

Serologic responses in patients with malignant mesothelioma: evidence for both public and private specificities
…protein. Antibodies to topoisomerase II beta were found in 13 of 14 patients and in 6 of 16 volunteers, though the volunteers' reactions were generally weak. Antibodies to U2AF(65) were found in two patients. Each…

Localised spontaneous regression in mesothelioma -- possible immunological mechanism
…lobe. Blood samples from her last 11 months showed antibodies against mesothelioma. Two of these reactions faded and one stayed stable. The authors judged this strong circumstantial evidence linking the immune cells to the regression. They…
