Dendritic Cells in Anticancer Vaccination: Rationale for Ex Vivo Loading or In Vivo Targeting

Targeting Dendritic Cells in vivo for Cancer Therapy

Monoclonal antibodies that recognize cell surface molecules have been used deliver antigenic cargo to dendritic cells (DC) for induction of immune responses. The encouraging anti-tumor immunity elicited using this immunization strategy suggests its suitability for clinical trials. This review discusses the complex network of DC, the functional specialization of DC subsets, the immunological out...

Lepista sordida Water Extract Enhances the Maturation of Mouse Dendritic Cells in Vitro and in Vivo

ارزیابی دقت زنجیره پرتودرمانی به روش دزیمتری in vivo

از بین بردن سلول های بدخیم با استفاده از تأثیر پرتو های یونساز بر بافت زنده یکی از موثرترین روش ها در درمان تومورهای سرطانی محسوب می شود. مبانی حفاظت پرتوی ایجاب می کند که هر نوع پرتو گیری توجیه پذیر و بهینه باشد. به علاوه برای کسب نتیجه درمانی مطلوب، باید موازنه دقیقی بین دُز رسیده به بافت هدف از یک سو و دُز رسیده به بافت سالم از سوی دیگر برقرار شود. کنترل واقعی درمان و آگاهی از آنچه در عمل رخ م...

In Vivo Effects of Calcitriol on Phenotypic and Functional Properties of Dendritic Cells

Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in the initiation and expansion of T cell mediated immune responses with potential immunotherapy application. The compounds which have the ability to induce immunomodulatory effects on DCs may be employed for the treatment of immunopathologic conditions such as autoimmune diseases. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the in v...

Linarin Inhibits the Acetylcholinesterase Activity In-vitro and Ex-vivo

Linarin is a flavone glycoside in the plants Flos chrysanthemi indici, Buddleja officinalis, Cirsium setosum, Mentha arvensis and Buddleja davidii, and has been reported to possess analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities. In this paper, linarin was investigated for its AChE inhibitory potential both in vitro and ex vivo. Ellman’s colorimetric method was used for...
