Nötrofil/lenfosit oranı (NEU/LYM), monosit/lenfosit (MONO/LYM), ve platelet/lenfosit (PLT/LYM) inflamasyonunun ucuz, tekrar kullanılabilen biyobelirteçlerini oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışma ilk defa parvovirus enfeksiyonu (PVE) şekillenmiş köpeklerde NEU/LYM, MONO/LYM PLT/LYM değerlerini ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışmanın amacını ise tedavi öncesi PVE ile pozitif köpeklerin değerlerinin, sağlıklı kontr...

We examined the therapeutic efficacy of xenogenic human N'-terminal neu DNA vaccine and autologous mouse N'-terminal neu DNA vaccine on MBT-2 tumor cells in C3H mice. Intramuscular injection of xenogenic and autologous neu DNA vaccines produced comparable therapeutic efficacies. Mouse and human N'-neu DNA vaccine induced tumor infiltration of CD8(+) T cells, while the human vaccine was less eff...

Amplification of the HER-2/neu (ErbB2) gene is observed in approximately 30% of human breast cancers, correlating with a poor clinical prognosis. Src kinases are also involved in the etiology of breast cancer, and their activation was suggested to be necessary for Neu-induced oncogenesis. To address whether Src activity is essential for Neu-mediated tumorigenesis, we used a physiologic inhibito...

BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent fatal cancers in the world. Despite advances in early diagnosis and improvements in surgical techniques, the survival of patients with HCC even after resection is poor because of the high incidence of recurrences. Therefore, the identification of prognostic factors may be helpful in the development of new treatment protocols...

BACKGROUND Expression of the HER-2/neu oncogene has been suggested to confer added virulence or aggressive behavior in gynecologic malignancies. The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of HER-2/neu expression in invasive cervical cancer and its impact on survival in women with cervical cancer. DESIGN Archival tissue from 150 patients with cervical carcinoma was evaluated immunohis...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to efficiently design a novel vaccine for human Her-2/neu-positive (hHer-2/neu) breast cancer using the live, attenuated bacterial vector Listeria monocytogenes. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Three recombinant L. monocytogenes-based vaccines were generated that could express and secrete extracellular and intracellular fragments of the hHer-2/neu protein. In addition, w...
