Correlation of breast cancer risk factors with HER-2/neu protein overexpression according to menopausal and estrogen receptor status
BACKGROUND: Several researchers have claimed that classification of tumours on the basis of HER-2/neu overexpression or amplification may define a subset of breast cancer in which the net effect of a risk factor could be rather more obvious and its impact on breast cancer development more clear. We decided to investigate, in a group of patients from a geographical area with a low incidence of b...
متن کاملGenetic regulation of the response to Her-2 DNA vaccination in human Her-2 transgenic mice.
Genetic regulation of immune reactivity to Her-2 vaccination and the consequent antitumor effect was tested in human Her-2 transgenic (Tg) mice of C57BL/6 (B6), BALB/c (BALB), and (B6x BALB) F1 (F1) background. Mice were electrovaccinated with Her-2 DNA with or without pretreatment with CD25 monoclonal antibody to remove CD25(hi) regulatory T cells. When CD25(+) T cells were intact, BALB Her-2 ...
متن کاملOverexpression of HER-2 in ovarian carcinomas.
The transmembrane receptor encoded by the HER-2 cellular oncogene is amplified in several types of human carcinomas and provides an attractive therapeutic target. Shown by immunohistology, <25% of newly diagnosed ovarian carcinomas express the HER-2 protein. However, now we report that this protein was expressed in all 20 tumor cell lines derived from stage III and IV ovarian cancers as well as...
متن کاملAutomated electrorotation to reveal dielectric variations related to HER-2/neu overexpression in MCF-7 sublines.
PURPOSE Electrorotation (ROT) is a technique that allows for determination of the dielectric properties of living cells when exposed to a rotating electric field. We evaluated the ROT behavior of MCF/neo and p185(neu) transfectancts MCF/HER2-11 and MCF/HER2-18 to investigate whether differences in HER-2/neu expression were associated with differences in dielectric properties in these cells. E...
متن کاملPreclinical HER-2 Vaccines: From Rodent to Human HER-2
Effective prevention of human cancer with vaccines against viruses, such as HBV and HPV, raises the question whether also non-virus related tumors could be prevented with immunological means. Studies in HER-2-transgenic mice showed that powerful anti-HER-2 vaccines, could almost completely prevent the onset of mammary carcinoma. Protective immune responses were orchestrated by T cells and their...
