Bone-in-culture array as a platform to model early-stage bone metastases and discover anti-metastasis therapies
The majority of breast cancer models for drug discovery are based on orthotopic or subcutaneous tumours. Therapeutic responses of metastases, especially microscopic metastases, are likely to differ from these tumours due to distinct cancer-microenvironment crosstalk in distant organs. Here, to recapitulate such differences, we established an ex vivo bone metastasis model, termed bone-in-culture...
متن کاملSelf heat-shock protein (hsp60) peptide serves in a conjugate vaccine against a lethal pneumococcal infection.
Healthy persons manifest a high frequency of T cells reactive to epitopes of the self 60-kDa heat-shock protein (hsp60) molecule. It was reasoned that a self hsp60 peptide, p458m, might provide T cell help for a response to the T independent capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 4 (PS4). The conjugate vaccine (PS4-p458m) induced resistance to challenge with >300,000 times the...
متن کاملProtective humoral response against pneumococcal infection in mice elicited by recombinant bacille Calmette-Guerin vaccines expressing pneumococcal surface protein A
Pneumococcal surface protein A (PspA), a cell-surface protein present on all strains of pneumococci, has been shown to elicit protective antibody responses in mice in the absence of capsular polysaccharide. Whereas PspA is polymorphic, considerable cross-reactivity and cross-protection have been demonstrated among PspA proteins of pneumococci exhibiting different capsular and PspA serotypes. A ...
متن کاملMonoclonal antibodies against protease-sensitive pneumococcal antigens can protect mice from fatal infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae
Monoclonal antibodies were raised against surface determinants of Streptococcus pneumoniae by hyperimmunizing X-linked immunodeficient (xid) CBA/N mice with the heat-killed rough strain R36A. 17 hybridomas produced antibody that bound intact R36A and did not cross-react with phosphocholine, an antigen common in the cell wall of all S. pneumoniae. The antibody produced by at least two of these h...
متن کاملMucosal immunization with PspA (Pneumococcal surface protein A)-adsorbed nanoparticles targeting the lungs for protection against pneumococcal infection
Burden of pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae remains high despite the availability of conjugate vaccines. Mucosal immunization targeting the lungs is an attractive alternative for the induction of local immune responses to improve protection against pneumonia. Our group had previously described the development of poly(glycerol adipate-co-ω-pentadecalactone) (PGA-co-PDL) polymeric nano...
