Microcin J25 (MccJ25) is a small ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptide that is produced by Enterobacteriacea family especially E.coli. The present study focuses on preparation and evaluation of in vitro antimicrobial and biological properties of a new peptide derived from MccJ25. We prepared a MccJ25-derived peptide containing 14 amino acids and a single intra-molecular disulfide bond a...

background: autoimmune type 1 diabetes mellitus is caused by t-cell mediated immune destruction of the insulin-producing β-cell in pancreatic islets of langerhans. specificity of the auto-antibodies and of the auto-reactive t-cells has been investigated, in which several auto-antigens were proposed. objective: to determine whether glutamic acid decarboxylase (gad) feeding would induce oral tole...

This report presents the findings of TIL development from tumour biopsies of patients with bladder cancer. Analysis of tissue sections showed the presence of T cells in intra-epithelial layer in 8 of 12 cases investigated. In a larger group of patients, TILs were established from 7 of 20 cases and expansion of these cells in Interleukin-2 (IL-2) in the presence of conditioned medium (CM) r...
