Cell lines derived from human small cell carcinoma of the lung express high levels of a surface polypeptide termed the cluster-w4 antigen, which was previously identified as a potential target for toxin-based immunotherapy of lung cancer. We have cloned a complementary DNA encoding the cluster-w4 antigen from COS-1 fibroblasts transfected with a SW2 small cell carcinoma library, by panning with...

Seizure and epilepsy can be related to autoimmune diseases and processes. Accurate diagnosis is essential for better treatment of these conditions. Different clinical studies have been conducted to diagnose and treat autoimmune epilepsy. Rapid treatment of these diseases helps to Improve prognosis and less relapses. Conventional epilepsy treatments including antiepileptic drugs are less success...

BACKGROUND Different opinion documents point to a patient age of under five years as a relative contraindication to specific immunotherapy, arguing that this age group has a greater risk of developing anaphylaxis, and that specially trained personnel are needed to deal with the problem if it occurs. However, insufficient evidence exists to support such an affirmation. PATIENTS AND METHODS A r...

The main objective of this study is to analyze the effects sublingual specific immunotherapy and conventional drug therapy on inflammatory factors immune function in children with allergic rhinitis. research subjects were divided into three groups, group A received administration dust mite drops, B routine treatment such as passive intervention topical hormones, antihistamines nasal irrigation ...

Abstract Background Emerging evidence has shown that intra-tumor immune features are associated with response to checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Accordingly, patient stratification is needed for identifying target patients and designing strategies improve the efficacy of ICB We aimed depict specific pancreatic cancer explore implication diversity in prognostic prediction individualized immun...

background: bacterial dna has immunostimulatory effects on different types of immune cells such as dendritic cells (dcs). application of dcs as a cellular adjuvant represents a promising approach in the immunotherapy of infectious disease and cancers. objectives: to investigate the effect of tumor antigen pulsed dcs in the presence of cpg-1826 in treatment of a murine model of cancer. methods: ...

few biomarkers that can predict the clinical response to allergen immunotherapy (ait) have been identified. the aim of the present study was to investigate parameters that could be used “in predicting the clinical response to ait” in children with asthma caused by house dust mites. we evaluated 107 children with mild persistent asthma who were sensitised only to mite aeroallergens. the study gr...
