MONITORING OF REGULATORY T CELL FREQUENCIES AND EXPRESSION OF CTLA-4 ON T CELLS, BEFORE AND AFTER DC VACCINATION, CAN PREDICT SURVIVAL IN GBM PATIENTS.

Dendritic cell (DC) vaccines have recently emerged as an innovative therapeutic option for glioblastoma patients.To identify novel surrogates of anti-tumor immune responsiveness, we studied the dynamic expression of activation and inhibitory markers on peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) subsets in glioblastoma patients treated with DC vaccination at

Two hundred and thirty four actinobacteria strains were isolated from Argentinian and Peruvian soil in order to evaluate the antimicrobial activity against multidrug resistant bacteria On the basis of their antagonist activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and two vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (EVR-Van A and EVR Van

The present paper gives an overview of the knowledge currently Socks available on muscular dyscoordination underlying postural problems in children with cerebral palsy (CP).Such information is a prerequisite for developing successful therapeutic interventions in children with CP.Until now, three children with CP functioning at GMFCS (Gross Motor Fu

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are highly expressed by brain endothelial cells that form the blood-brain barrier (BBB).These efflux pumps play an important role in maintaining brain homeostasis as they actively hinder the entry of unwanted blood-derived compounds into the central nervous system (CNS).Consequently, their high activity at th

BACKGROUND:Breast cancer is one of the most dangerous and frequently occurring cancers among women, and it also affects men.We aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with mortality among patients with breast cancer in Saudi Arabia.METHOD:Data for this analysis of breast cancer mortality among Saudi Arabians were obtained from the
