THE CONTENT OF SOLUBLE HLA CLASS I AND HLA-DR MOLECULES IN SERUM IN PATIENTS WITH UTERINE CERVIX AND BODY PATHOLOGY

The aim of the investigation was to assess the correlation of the content of soluble HLA (sHLAI) class I and HLA-DR (sHLA-DR) molecules in blood serum of patients with uterine cervix and body pathologies, and their pathology type, tumor grade, the number and localization of myomatous nodes. Materials and Methods. 142 women with uterine cervix and body pathology aged 31-79 years (median -52 years) were under study. Serum level of sHLAI and sHLA-DR molecules was determined by enzyme immunoassay using monoclonal antibodies. Blood samples were drawn from cubital vein. All tests were performed before and after the treatment course. For enzyme immunoassay we used mouse monoclonal antibodies to reveal soluble differentiated molecules. Results. Malignant pathologies of uterine cervix and body and myomas were found to be accompanied by an increased serum level of sHLAI. sHLA-DR molecules, its degree depending on the type of pathology diagnosed in patients with cervical cancer and hysterocarcinomas, and differentiation degree of adenocarcinoma in hysterocarcinoma patients, the number and localization of myomatous nodes. Initial concentration of soluble HLA class I and HLA-DR molecules in a preoperative period can serve as an additional diagnostic test in patients with uterine tumors for their further selection for surgery.
