Background. Electrochemotherapy is a local treatment combining application of electric pulses and chemotherapy. Two chemotherapeutic drugs, bleomycin and cisplatin, have proved to be effective in electrochemotherapy. The effectiveness of electrochemotherapy was demonstrated in the treatment of various cutaneous and subcutaneous tumours in cancer patients. Only a few preclinical studies were per...

background fish cell lines are advantageous alternatives to mammalian cell lines for carrying out in vitro research. they are used extensively for the study of fish biology, physiology and toxicology, and more recently for germplasm conservation of important fish species. objectives the present study aims to establish and characterize a novel fish cell line from muscle tissue of wallago attu ca...

The leukocyte sialyloglycoprotein CD43 exhibits features of a signal transducing molecule and is thought to be important for T-cell activation and adhesion. However, cellular biochemical events in which CD43 participates remain poorly understood. Here we provide evidence that CD43 regulates tyrosine phosphorylation of a specific substrate in T cells. A 93-kD tyrosine phosphoprotein was identifi...

the objective of the study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of aqueous extract of cucumis melo fruit on human prostate cancer cell line (pc-3) using mtt and neutral red assays. the crude aqueous extract of c. melo was prepared by cold maceration method, filtered, concentrated and tested on pc-3 cell line. dose-dependent cytotoxic activities were exhibited on human prostate carcinoma pc-3 c...

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the cytotoxicity induced by two resin-based sealers, 2Seal and AH Plus, in two osteoblast-like cell lines, MG-63 and Saos-2. Using sterile discs of both sealers in complete media, 24- and 72-h extracts were prepared. The extracts were exchanged with Saos-2 or MG-63 cell culture media at 75% confluence, and after 24 h incubation, cell viability t...

The dataset presented here represents a microarray experiment of Jurkat cell line over-expressing miR-93 after lentiviral transgenic construct transduction. Three biological replicates have been performed. We further provide normalized and processed data, log2 Fold Change based ranked list and GOterms resulting table. The raw microarray data are available in the ArrayExpress database (www.ebi.a...

To understand the virus-cell interactions that occur during murine coronavirus infection, six murine cell lines (A3-1M, B16, CMT-93, DBT, IC-21 and J774A.1) were inoculated with eight murine coronaviruses, including prototype strains of both polytropic and enterotropic biotypes, and new isolates. All virus strains produced a cytopathic effect (CPE) with cell-to-cell fusion in B16, DBT, IC-21 an...
