The Effect of Monophosphoryl Lipid A on Maturation of DCs from Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
Background: Generation of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDC) is induced in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4, and a maturation stimulus is added to the monocyte culture to obtain mature Dendritic Cells (DCs) suitable for therapy. TNF-α is the most common cytokine used for activating DCs and generating mature MDDC either alone or in combination with other cytokines. Objective: To compare effe...
متن کاملPharmacokinetics of cytosine arabinoside in acute myeloid leukemia.
In 14 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) the plasma concentration of cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) was determined at the start of the first course of treatment at various intervals after a bolus injection. In 10 patients plasma concentration/time data were fitted to a biexponential equation and pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated from the coefficient and exponents of such equations...
متن کاملFludarabine and cytosine-arabinoside for poor-risk acute myeloid leukemia.
Thirteen relapsed or refractory AML patients were treated with the FLA regimen. A complete remission was observed in 54% of cases but the median duration of remission was short (4 months). These results suggest that the FLA regimen is not able to induce a durable complete remission in the poor-risk AML patients.
متن کاملImmunophenotypic Subtyping of Leukemic Cells from Iranian Patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia: Association to Disease Outcome
Background: Immunophenotypic characterization of the leukemic cells has been widely used as a tool for diagnosis, classification, stratification and prognosis of leukaemia. Objective: To investigate the immunophenotypic subtype profiles of Iranian patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and its association to disease outcome. Methods: In this study, a total of 60 Iranian patients with ...
متن کاملRemission induction with cytosine arabinoside and L-asparaginase in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
Nine patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in relapse were treated with a course of cytosine arabinoside followed immediately by a course of L-asparaginase. Eight patients achieved complete remission of their disease. This combination of drugs is sufficiently effective to suggest that further trial is needed. It is possible that the combination has a synergistic effect.
