Intraductal carcinoma of major salivary gland.

The clinicopathologic features of the cases of three patients with intraductal carcinoma of major salivary gland are described. As in the breast, these lesions of salivary ducts appear to represent an in situ or preinvasive phase of the disease. On follow-up, one patient had a local recurrence, and in another patient, the tumor subsequently became invasive. This experience suggests that wide surgical excision (preferably total parotidectomy) may be curative but that resections limited to grossly visible disease will result in local recurrence and/or the development of invasive ductal adenocarcinoma.

Lymphangioma of the kidney: a pathologic entity distinct from solitary multilocular cyst.

A case of primary renal lymphangioma is reported. This represents the first documented example of such a lesion confirmed by immunocytochemical and ultrastructural studies. Whereas previously regarded as synonymous terms, the recognition of lymphangioma as a pathologic entity distinct from solitary multilocular cyst of the kidney appears warranted. Although rare, lymphangioma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of multicystic lesions of the kidney.

Immunization of pigs against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae with two recombinant protein preparations.

Two Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 7 antigens were expressed in Escherichia coli and tested for their protective efficacy in an experimental pig model. The antigens used were a fusion protein containing the carboxy-terminal 70% of the +/- 103 kDa cytolysin and a full length 60 kDa protein which has been shown previously to bind transferrin. Pigs were immunized twice with 25 micrograms of either or both preparations. All pigs developed a strong humoral immune response comparable to that induced by infection. Upon challenge with an A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 7 strain, all immunized groups were less affected by the disease and showed significantly lower mortality than the controls (p less than 0.1). Pigs receiving both antigens had a tendency to recover faster than the controls or animals which were vaccinated with only one antigen. Protection was serotype-specific since no cross-protection was detected following challenge with an A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 1 strain. A dose-response experiment using the single antigens at 200, 50 or 12.5 micrograms per dose showed no difference in protection among the groups.
