Acute septicaemic melioidosis with pulmonary hilar prominence: a case report with a unique chest radiographic pattern", In acute septicaemic melioidosis chest radiographs most commonly show nodular densities, upper lobe pneumonitis with cavity formation, and irregular mottled densities with dissemination throughout both lungs. A rarely reported but unique radiographic pattern of bilateral pulmo...

The in vivo effects of intravenous administration of alloantisera directed to I-J subregion coded determinants were investigated. In confirmation and extension of our previous results, anti-I-Jk [B10.A(3R) anti-B10.A(5R)] and anti-I-Js ([B10.A(3R) X B10.S(9R)]F1 anti-B10.HTT) antisera, when administered in 1 to 10 microliter amounts at the time of immunization, led to twofold increases in the I...

We studied peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from 42 patients with metastatic melanoma undergoing treatment with cyclophosphamide (CY) plus melanoma vaccine to determine whether CY immunopotentiation could be related to depletion of T-cells that function as inducers of suppression. Every 28 days, the patients were given CY, 300 mg/m2 i.v., followed 3 days later by the intradermal injection of ...

The present investigations have assessed the effects of prolonged cyclophosphamide (CY) and Corynebacterium (CP) treatment on the production of bone marrow macrophage precursors [colony-forming cells (CFC)] and on the cytotoxicity of macrophages comprising colonies produced by the CFC. The findings have been correlated with tumor growth in animals receiving the immunochemotherapy. In addition, ...

Vaccines based on molecular subunit antigens are increasingly being investigated due to their improved safety and more precise targeting compared to classical whole-pathogen vaccines. However, subunit vaccines are inherently less immunogenic; thus, coadministration of an adjuvant to increase the immunogenicity of the antigen is often necessary to elicit a potent immune response. QS-21, an immun...
