Surgically resected large bowels with ulcerative colitis (UC) and biopsies specimens from UC patients were studied immunohistochemically in terms of localization of immunoglobulins, secretory component (SC), complement (C3), and lysozyme in relation to suffering periods. In the long-standing group (suffering periods more than nine months) of UC, marked decrease or absence of IgA as well as IgM was frequently observed in the columnar epithelial cells despite residue of SC positivity. However, in the short-standing group (suffering periods from one month to four months) both SC and IgA were well preserved in the apical portion of the epithelial cells in the similar manner as observed in the control group. There was moderate to marked increase of IgA-producing cells and slight to moderate increase of IgM-producing cells in the majority of the UC cases regardless of suffering periods. Lysozyme was not demonstrable in the normal epithelial cells of the large intestine but occasionally observed in those of UC cases.
