We have previously reported several CTL epitopes derived from the hepatitis B viral X Ag (HBx). In this study, we evaluated whether HBx-specific CTLs can be effectively used in adoptive cancer immunotherapy. To validate the possibility, four peptides containing a HLA-A2.1-restricted binding consensus motif were identified from the HBx protein and tested for their ability to activate CTL from PB...

Human epidermal keratinocytes express under various growth conditions a total of at least nine keratins that can be divided into two subfamilies. Subfamily A comprises 40-, 46-, 48-, 50-/50'-, and 56.5-kilodalton (kd) keratins which are relatively acidic (pI less than 5.5) and, with the exception of 46-kd keratin, are recognized by AE1 monoclonal antibody. Subfamily B comprises 52-, 56-, 58-, a...

BACKGROUND Studies have reported that children with atopic dermatitis (AD) have a high risk of adverse reactions at first egg ingestion. METHODS We enrolled 79 children with AD retrospectively and 45 children without AD (control group) prospectively, who had never eaten egg. All children underwent skin prick tests (SPT) with commercial extracts and prick by prick with natural food (raw and bo...

The anatomical findings in 52 patients undergoing posterior fossa exploration for idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia are described. Anatomical abnormalities in the cerebello-pontine angle were found in 46. The commonest was an arterial loop indenting or distorting the nerve at the root entry zone. In view of this the operative procedure has been changed from root section to microvascular decompres...
