CD105 is a well-known tumor metastasis marker and useful for early monitoring of metastasis and cancer relapse. It is important to generate rapid, reliable and precise analytical information regarding CD105 levels. To establish a simple, selective and sensitive detection method, we prepared an immunosensor with novel bioconjugates based on Pt nanoparticles, thionin acetate and antibodies. The p...

The present study described for the first time a high heterogeneity of blood vessels in non-Hodgkin lymphomas (nHL). The tumor blood vessels were highlighted with CD105÷smooth muscle actin (SMA) and CD34/SMA double immunostaining. For both follicular and diffuse types of lymphomas, more than 85% of CD34/SMA positive vessels were of immature and intermediate type. A percent of 96.54 from CD105/S...

background : angiogenesis is essential for the growth, invasion and metastasis of solid tumors. research on related factors such as microvessel density can be helpful in predicting a tumor's behavior. cd105 has been introduced as a marker of angiogenesis which stains vessels that are in the proliferating stage. there are some controversies about the relation of microvessel density and clinicopa...

Skeletal stem cells (SSCs) are a population of progenitor cells which give rise to postnatal skeletal tissues including bone, cartilage and bone marrow stroma, however not to adipose, haematopoietic or muscle tissue. Growth plate chondrocytes exhibit the ability of continuous proliferation and differentiation, which contributes to the continuous physiological growth. The growth plate has been h...

Endothelial cells of blood vessels in tumors may be thin, fragile, and defective in barrier function. We found previously that the endothelium of vessels in human colon carcinoma xenografts in mice is a mosaic structure. Approximately 85% of tumor vessels have uniform CD31 and/or CD105 immunoreactivity, but the remainder have focal regions that lack these common endothelial markers. The present...

objectives : squamous cell carcinoma (scc) is the most common malignant neoplasm of the oral cavity and a public health threat. tumor progression is believed to be influenced by angiogenesis as well as tumor cell proliferation; however, the correlation of these two factors in tongue scc still remains unclear. this study aimed to assess the correlation of these two factors in tongue scc. materia...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Angiogenesis is essential for growth and metastasis of solid malignancies. Tumor vessel count and expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a potent angiogenic factor, have been associated with prognosis. This study was designed to assess vessels density by using CD31 and CD105 (Endoglin) and their correlation with expression of VEGF and proliferative in...

BACKGROUND Angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis are the processes of neovascularization that evolve from preexisting blood and lymphatic vessels. There are few studies on angiogenesis and none on lymphangiogenesis in leprosy. Thus, the role of neovascularization in the pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease was studied across the spectrum of leprosy, its reactional states and its residual l...

BACKGROUND Goeckerman's therapy (GT) of psoriasis is based on daily application of pharmacy grade coal tar on affected skin with subsequent exposure to UV light. Disturbances in angiogenic activity are characteristic for the immunopathogenesis of psoriasis. The aim of study was to evaluate the influence of GT of psoriasis on proinflammatory and angiogenic activities expressed as changes in leve...

Increasing evidence suggests that endoglin (CD105) is a new powerful marker of neovascularization in solid malignancies; thus, using breast cancer as a model, we investigated whether targeting of CD105 by monoclonal antibody (mAb) MAEND3 can be used for in vivo imaging of solid tumors. Immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry identified differential expression of CD105 on breast cancer and endot...
