BCG, the attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis, has been widely used as a vaccine against tuberculosis and is thus an important candidate as a live carrier for multiple antigens. With the aim of developing a recombinant BCG (rBCG) vaccine against diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus (DPT), we analyzed the potential of CRM(197), a mutated nontoxic derivative of diphtheria toxin, as the recombin...

A solid-phase radioimmunoassay was developed to measure the level of the androgen-dependent spermine-binding protein (SBP) in the cytosol fraction of the rat ventral prostate during endocrine manipulation. The concentration of SBP and immunologically cross-reacting material (CRM) in the ventral prostate was at least 5000 times higher than the level of CRM detected in rat serum or cytosol from o...

In 1993, Sagar et al reported that microscopic involvement of the circumferential resection margin (CRM) is related to local recurrence and decreased survival.
