Abstract HAb18G/CD147, a glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin super‐family (IgSF), is T cell activation‐associated molecule. In this report, we demonstrated that HAb18G/CD147 expression on both activated CD4 + and CD8 cells was up‐regulated. vitro cross‐linking with an anti‐HAb18G/CD147 monoclonal antibody (mAb) 5A12 inhibited proliferation upon receptor stimulation. Such co‐stimulation by down‐regulating CD25 interleukin‐2 (IL‐2), decreased production IL‐4 but not interferon‐γ. Laser confocal...
The role of the humoral immune system in human infection with Ascaris lumbricoides remains unclear. This study documents an epidemiological investigation a highly endemic community Vietnam, whereby serum antibody levels were assessed before treatment and after 6-month reinfection period. These data examined by correlation status using age-structured approach attempt to help shed light on response. first part this characterized all isotypes from response antigens both adult larval A....
AbstractTo study the expression of N-myc Downstream Regulated Gene-2 (NDRG2) in prostatic carcinoma (PCA) tissue and different PCA cell lines, to investigate its clinical pathological implications, 144 benign hyperplasia (BPH) sections were analyzed retrospectively with immunohistochemistry (S-P method). The levels NDRG2 c-Myc prostate lines detected through Western blot. effects adenovirus-mediated on PC3 cells nude mouse xenografts was observed growth curves, tumor flow cytometry (FCM),...
Optimal T-cell activation requires both an antigen-specific and a costimulatory signal. CD167 is tyrosine kinase receptor for native type I collagen, its physiologic functions include matrix homeostasis cell growth, adhesion, branching, migration, but the specific role of in T cells has not yet been characterized. In this study, we found that expression on was up-regulated after activation. Cooperation engagement with suboptimal TCR/CD3 signals induced proliferation, enhanced markers such as...
Growth of solid tumors is often associated with the development an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). It has been suggested that influence TME may extend beyond local and results in systemic immunosuppression. Here, we utilize two murine cancer models to explore on occurrence alloreactivity-driven GvHD graft-versus-solid (GvT) effects following MHC-mismatched allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT). Melanoma- or colon carcinoma-bearing C57BL/6 mice did not develop...
Clinical benefits obtained from checkpoint blockade regimens demonstrate the importance of overcoming immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment (TME) in cancer immunotherapy. Intravenous (i.v.) injection B16 melanoma cells (H-2Kb) leads to lethal disseminated pulmonary metastasis Balb/c recipients (H-2Kd). This lack immune control is related low major histocompatibility complex (MHC) expression on which associated with delayed and decreased anti-tumour adaptive responses (e.g., alloantibody...
Abstract Natural killer (NK) cells provide a natural defense against MHC-I–negative tumors, such as melanoma. Donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) containing NK cells, form of adoptive immunotherapy used after allogenic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT), promotes antitumor immune responses but is often associated with life-threatening complications graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). Here, we showed that without prior allo-BMT, DLI provoked melanoma control the infiltration and persistence...
