Experimental studies of radioimmunodetection of cancer: an overview.
نویسنده
چکیده
During the past 8 years numerous patients have been treated by injection of radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies for both diagnosis and treatment of cancer. It has become common to refer to this approach by such terms as "antibody guided delivery" or "antibody guided targeting." In general the results, while somewhat promising, have failed to fulfill our initial expectations. It is now clear that there are many physiological barriers that antibodies face in their travel toward their tumor associated antigen. The papers in the "Experimental Studies of Radioimmunodetection" section of the symposium describe in detail these barriers. We must remember that antibody conjugates are no more "guided" than classical drugs and hormones and are subject to the same physiological principals.

Toxicity of Nanoparticles and an Overview of Current Experimental Models
Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing field having potential applications in many areas. Nanoparticles (NPs) have been studied for cell toxicity, immunotoxicity, and genotoxicity. Tetrazolium-based assays such as MTT, MTS, and WST-1 are used to determine cell viability. Cell inflammatory response induced by NPs is checked by measuring inflammatory biomarkers, such as IL-8, IL-6, and tumor necrosi...

متن کاملCasual role of infectious agents in cancer: An overview
Cancer is a complex group of diseases with multiple eventual causes. The underlying causes are not fully known. Thus, learning more about the known causes of cancer is an important issue. Moreover, among these factors, infection and its association to cancers is controversial. Although, it seems that the genome instability of the cells can initiate cancer development. The purpose of this review...
