Background: Cancer antigen CA125 is known as a valuable marker for the management of ovarian cancer. Methods: The analytical and clinical performance of the Access OV Monitor Immunoassay System (Beckman Coulter) was evaluated at five different European sites and compared with a reference system, defined as CA125 on the Elecsys System (Roche Diagnostics). Results: Total imprecision (%CV) of the ...

AIMS To analyse the distribution of OV-TL 3 and MOv18 in normal ovarian tissue to determine which antibody is most suitable for (radio)immunotherapy of ovarian carcinoma. METHODS The distribution of OV-TL 3 and MOv18 was determined using immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry. RESULTS Epithelial and other cells in many tissues, and leucocytes in peripheral blood, bone marrow and spleen sta...

A closed integral expression is derived for Neumann series of Bessel functions — a series of Bessel functions of increasing order — over the set of real numbers.

Oncolytic virotherapy (OV) is an emerging class of immunotherapeutic drugs. Their mechanism action two-fold: direct cell lysis and unmasking the cancer through immunogenic death, which allows immune system to recognize eradicate tumours. Breast most common in women challenging treat with immunotherapy modalities because it classically immunogenically “cold” tumour type. This provides attractive...

We report the creation of white-light, achromatic Bessel beams using a spatial light modulator and a prism to compensate for the dispersion. Unlike the Bessel beam created by a refractive axicon, this achromatic beam has a radial wavevector and hence an intensity cross-section which is independent of wavelength. The technique also lends itself to the generation of higher order Bessel beams with...

Recently Pogány and Süli [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 137(7) (2009), 2363–2368] derived a closed-form integral expression for Neumann series of Bessel functions of the first kind Jν . In this paper our aim is to establish analogous integral representations for the Neumann-type series of modified Bessel functions of the first kind Iν and for Bessel functions of the second kind Yν , Kν , and to give l...

We establish a simple relative trace formula for GSp(4) and inner forms with respect to Bessel subgroups to obtain a certain Bessel identity. From such an identity, one can hope to prove a formula relating central values of degree four spinor L-functions to squares of Bessel periods as conjectured by Böcherer. Under some local assumptions, we obtain nonvanishing results, i.e., a global Gross–Pr...

A theory of the recently discussed and demonstrated novel phenomenon of self-phase-matching [B.Glushko, B. Kryzhanovsky, and D. Sarkisyan, Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 243 (1993)j is given by representing the conical beam, produced in the experiments, by a Bessel beam and as a superposition of Bessel beams. The predictions of the theory with the superposition of Bessel beams are in conformity with the ...
