[Hepatitis B virus markers, beta 2 microglobulin and anti HTLV in a population of blood donors from a prison environment].

212 male prisoners were collected at the prison in March 1983. Anti-HBc and HBs Ag were detected by a combined test (AUSRIA-CORE, Abbott Laboratories). 67 sera (31,5%) were anti-HBc positive, 7 of them HBs Ag positive. Screening for anti-HTLV (anti-p24) was negative for all the donors. Beta 2 microglobulin levels were determined on 115 sera (B2-micro RIA 100, Pharmacia Laboratories). 8 had levels above 2,6 mg/l (greater than 2 SD). These 8 sera were anti-HBc positive and one of them HBs Ag positive 3 HBs Ag positive donors had non elevated Beta 2 microglobulin levels. This survey confirms that prisoners as blood donors should be regarded as carrying a high risk of transmission of HBV and probably other infectious agents with similar epidemiology. The signification of elevated Beta 2 microglobulin levels deserves further investigations since this determination could be of value as an additive test to increase the safety of blood products.

[Quantitative and thermodynamic study of B antigen in a family including individuals with phenotypes B 3 and AB 3].

Four B3 and one A1B3 erythrocyte samples belonging to the same family were studied using several series of quantitative measurements: percentage of agglutination, agglutination kinetics and thermodynamic methods. For this last assay the erythrocytes were used fresh and after treatment by formalin. From the obtained results evidence was given that while B antigen density was lower in A1B3 than in B3O cells, the reactive structure is qualitatively the same in these two kinds of cells. The enthalpy change of the reaction of this B3 antigen with a non stimulated anti-B from A1O individual was -- 5,000 cal/mole, i.e. weaker than when normal B cells were concerned (-- 16,000 cal/mole).

[Partial trisomy 21 (21q21 - 21q22.2)].

An abnormal chromosome 21 is reported in a child with a phenotype strongly reminiscent of trisomy 21 syndrome. It is shown to result from duplication of the segment 21q21 leads to 21q22.2. Comparison of the phenotype with that of other partial and total trisomics shows that the characteristic features of the trisomy 21 syndrome (mongolism), the mental retardation in particular - is due to trisomy 21q22.2 and perhaps 21q22.2.
