Tumor Imaging and Targeting Potential of an Hsp70-Derived 14-Mer Peptide
BACKGROUND We have previously used a unique mouse monoclonal antibody cmHsp70.1 to demonstrate the selective presence of a membrane-bound form of Hsp70 (memHsp70) on a variety of leukemia cells and on single cell suspensions derived from solid tumors of different entities, but not on non-transformed cells or cells from corresponding 'healthy' tissue. This antibody can be used to image tumors in...
متن کاملEsophageal natural killer (NK)/T cell lymphoma of true natural killer cell origin.
A 53-year-old man with no prior medical history was transferred to our hospital because of a 2-month history of dysphagia with throat pain. A complete blood count showed hemoglobin 14.2g/dL, and white blood cell count 11890/mL, and other laboratory findings were within normal limits. An enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan showed diffuse thickening of the esophageal wall without regional lymp...
متن کاملNatural killer (NK) activity in patients with chronic granulomatous disease.
Natural killer (NK) activity against K 562 target cells was explored in 4 patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). Although the NK activity of these patients was normal, the activity did not change after removal of monocytes from the effector cell population, contrary to normal adult controls. The possibility of a defect in the regulatory function of monocytes on NK activity in CGD pa...
متن کاملNatural killer (NK) activity in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
The natural killer (NK) activity against K 562 target cells was explored in 20 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Three of 5 patients examined at the time of diagnosis had normal NK activity. Two patients, who had more than 80% circulating blasts had significantly low NK activity. The level of NK activity of these 5 patients was inversely proportional to the percentage of blast c...
متن کاملFasting Enhances TRAIL-Mediated Liver Natural Killer Cell Activity via HSP70 Upregulation
Acute starvation, which is frequently observed in clinical practice, sometimes augments the cytolytic activity of natural killer cells against neoplastic cells. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the enhancement of natural killer cell function by fasting in mice. The total number of liver resident natural killer cells in a unit weight of liver tissue obtained fro...
