Tumor-associated antigens in breast cancer.
The targets for the immune system are antigens present on cancer cells; however, many are not cancer-specific and may also be found on normal tissues. These antigens are often products of mutated cellular genes, aberrantly expressed normal genes, or genes encoding viral proteins. Vaccines constitute an active and specific immunotherapy designed to stimulate the intrinsic antitumor immune respon...
متن کاملCancer-Associated Carbohydrate Antigens as Potential Biomarkers for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common human malignancies. Therefore, developing the early, high-sensitivity diagnostic biomarkers to prevent HCC is urgently needed. Serum a-fetoprotein (AFP), the clinical biomarker in current use, is elevated in only ~60% of patients with HCC; therefore, identification of additional biomarkers is expected to have a significant impact on publi...

action was the pluripotential haemopoietic stem cell (CFUS ) . Whenever they were tested, free glycosaminoglycan chains were unable to reproduce P-D-xyloside influences on cell behaviour. On the basis of the cited biochemical evidence it seems likely that the xyloside effects are mediated through alterations in surface membrane proteoglycans. Most probably the xyloside-induced changes follow fr...
متن کاملBreast Cancer Associated with Dermatomyositis
Dermatomyositis (DM) is a rare idiopathic inflammatory myopathy with characteristic skin lesions. Case series have shown an association between dermatomyositis and malignancy. Malignancy has been found in 15-25% of the adult patients with dermatomyositis. A 50-year-old new case of breast cancer, was admitted with muscle weakness and inability to walk. Physical examination revealed fever, perior...
متن کاملTumor Associated Carbohydrate Antigens in Targeted Therapy
Tumor associated carbohydrate antigens (TACAs) are a class of glycans with important structural and signaling functions playing a major role in cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis relevant to oncology. Tumor cells expressing TACAs influence prognosis and survival of cancer patients. Careful consideration must be given to structural aspects during rational design of small molecule...
