Dendritic cells (DCs) are potent antigen-presenting cells for the induction and activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes. We tested whether bone marrow-derived DCs are capable of inducing protective immunity against a murine lymphoma (A20). DCs were grown from tumor-bearing BALB/c mice by culturing bone marrow cells. BALB/c mice were injected (sc) with A20 cells on day 0. Intraperitoneal immunizat...

UNLABELLED Lung cancer metastases to bone produce a primarily mixed osteolytic/osteoblastic lesion. The purpose of this study was to determine if blockade of both pathways would inhibit the formation these lesions in bone. Inhibition of the osteoblastic lesion with noggin and the osteolytic lesion with RANK:Fc was a successful treatment strategy to inhibit progression of mixed lung cancer lesio...

cutaneous round cell tumors have been classified as mast cell tumor (mct), histiocytoma (hct), lymphosarcoma, undif-ferentiated round cell tumors and occasionally rhabdomyosarcoma in veterinary medicine. an adult cock (gallus domesticus) showing a large solitary integument mass raised on dorso bilateral of cervical part, extending to intercapsular and cranial mid part of the back was referred t...

background: cervical cancer has been shown to be highly associated with human papillomavirus (hpv) infection. the viral oncogenes e6 and e7 are constantly expressed by the tumor cells and are therefore potent targets for therapeutic genetic vaccination. in the present study, it was investigated the potential effect of hpv-16 e6, e7 and l1 co-administration to activate specific cytotoxic t lymph...
