Privacy is an important challenge facing the growth of the Web and the propagation of various transaction models supported by it. Decentralized distributed models of computing are used to mitigate privacy breaches by eliminating a single point of failure. However, end-users can still be attacked in order to discover their private information. This work proposes using distributed hierarchical ne...

Endosialin is a C-type lectin-like cell surface receptor of unknown function, with a distinctive pattern of endothelial expression in newly formed blood vessels in human cancers. The murine orthologue of endosialin has been identified, opening up the analysis of developmental regulation in the embryo and in aberrant tissue remodeling, notably cancer angiogenesis. To advance these studies we hav...

In order to establish a rationale for immunotherapy for lung cancer, we have investigated immunological characteristics of tumorassociated antigens (TAAs) discovered through molecular approaches. Preexisting Abs specific to these predicted TAAs were examined using specimens of lung pleural effusions (LPEs) and sera in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The novel cancertestis (CT) anti...

Tumor vaccines represent one type of molecularly targeted therapy being investigated for the treatment of prostate cancer. Although many prostate-specific proteins are being tested as target antigens for prostate cancer vaccines, most are not natural targets of an immune response in patients with cancer. Using sera from cancer patients, several research groups have identified a large family of ...
