The WA cross-idiotype (XId) is the major XId among human monoclonal rheumatoid factors (mRF) and is almost always associated with the light (L) chain XId, 17.109, and the heavy (H) chain XId, G6. A cell line, 35G6, was cloned that bears the WA XId, but shows no reactivity with immunoglobulin G (IgG) and is negative for the 17.109 and G6 XIds. The 35G6 L chain appears to be derived from the same...

Current dogma favors elimination of therapy-resistant cancer stem cells for chemoprevention of breast cancer. We showed recently that mammary cancer development in a transgenic mouse model (mouse mammary tumor virus-neu; MMTV-neu) was inhibited significantly upon treatment with withaferin A (WA), a steroidal lactone derived from a medicinal plant. Herein, we demonstrate that the mammary cancer ...

Vikatuni vina wajibu muhimu katika aushi ya vijana ulimwenguni. Huenda ndio sababu Karne 21 imeshuhudia ongezeko la tafiti kuhusu vikatuni. Kumekuwepo na nyingi muwala uwanja wa kiusomi.
