Crosslinking of ANCA-antigens stimulates superoxide release by human neutrophils.
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) activate primed human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) in vitro, resulting in a respiratory burst and degranulation. In this study, the hypotheses that the initiation of this process requires engagement of the F(ab')2 portion of ANCA, and that crosslinking of ANCA target antigens is necessary to trigger superoxide (O2-) release, were explored. It...
متن کاملHow Informative is the Immune Response Against Surrogate Tumor Antigens to Assess Antitumor Immunity?
The last decade has seen the development of numerous antitumor therapeutic approaches. Concomitantly, the interest for using oncolytic viruses (OV) against cancer has grown tremendously and a number of promising candidates are now in preclinical and clinical studies. Tumor regression in vivo following viral infection has been shown to be a multifactorial process (1). The reductionist view of vi...
متن کاملThe early antitumor immune response is necessary for tumor growth
Early events responsible of tumor growth in patients with a normal immune system are poorly understood. Here, we discuss, in the context of human melanoma, the Prehn hypothesis according to which a weak antitumor immune response may be required for tumor growth before weakly or non-immunogenic tumor cell subpopulations are selected by the immune system.
متن کاملEffect of Immune Responses Against Hydatid Cyst Antigens on Growth of Melanoma Tumor
Background: Hydatid cyst is the larval stage of the tape worm parasite, Echinococcus granulosus. Human is infected by ingestion of parasite ova excreted in dog feces. The anticancer activity of different antigens of hydatid cyst has been reported in the previous works. In this research, the role of immune system in induction of this anticancer activity has been investigated.Materials and Method...
متن کاملAntitumor activity of orally administered maitake α-glucan by stimulating antitumor immune response in murine tumor
Maitake α-glucan, YM-2A, isolated from Grifola frondosa, has been characterized as a highly α-1,6-branched α-1,4 glucan. YM-2A has been shown to possess an anti-virus effect in mice; however, it does not directly inhibit growth of the virus in vitro, indicating that the anti-virus effect of YM-2A might be associated with modulation of the host immune system. In this study, we found that oral ad...
