Purpose: Doxorubicin has shown efficacy especially in combination treatment for the treatment of multiple myeloma; however, its side effects limit its use. INNO-206 is an albumin-binding prodrug of doxorubicin, which is released from albumin under acidic conditions. Because INNO-206 has not been previously evaluated in any hematologic malignancy, we determined its anti–multiple myeloma effects....

We have evaluated a new serological confirmatory test (INNO-LIA HTLV I/II Ab [INNO-LIA]) for human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV) using a large collection of samples from Brazilian blood donors (São Paulo region) and compared the results with those obtained by Western blotting (WB) tests (WB2.3 and WB2.4). Blood donations were initially screened by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) base...

The INNO monitoring (Lot 2) is carried out by empirica GmbH and ICEG European Cent Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft Köl...

Since the overall quality of Taiwanese university education has been decreasing in recent years, and universities are losing their competitive advantage while facing foreign countries’ education systems and the threat of closing, upgrading innovation performance and improving total quality performance (Inno-Qual performance) so as to enhance overall operational performance have become an urgent...

Central nervous system (CNS) relapse accompanying the prolonged administration of imatinib mesylate has recently become apparent as an impediment to the therapy of Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) leukemia. CNS relapse may be explained by limited penetration of imatinib mesylate into the cerebrospinal fluid because of the presence of P-glycoprotein at the blood-brain barrier. To overcome ...

Experimental evidence suggests that oxidative and nitrative mechanisms account for much of the dopaminergic neuronal injury in Parkinson's disease (PD). The ubiquitously expressed non-receptor tyrosine kinase c-Abl is activated by oxidative stress and thus, may play a role in redox-mediated neurodegeneration. Recently, we reported that c-Abl is activated in PD and that a c-Abl inhibitor mitigat...

A reverse hybridization test (Inno-LiPA HCV; Innogenetics, N.V., Zwijnaarde, Belgium) was used for typing hepatitis C virus. All 38 samples, typed by PCR with primers from core and NS5 genes, were also genotyped by this test. Of the samples, 33 (87%) had the same subtypes by both assays. The correlations between PCR and Inno-LiPA for individual types were 77% for type I (1a), 90% for type II (1...

This article focuses on entrepreneurial orientation in a firm’s internationalisation process, which is one of the leading research trends international entrepreneurship. The objective study to verify relationship between proactiveness, risk-taking and innovativeness as components internationalised Polish firms. answers main question how proactiveness influence an interrelated three-dimensional ...

The Bio-Rad Geenius HIV 1/2 assay was evaluated as an alternative to the INNO-LIA HIV 1/2 assay for the confirmation of HIV infection in 198 serum samples reactive to 4th-generation HIV enzyme immunoassays (EIAs). The Geenius assay correctly identified 85% of the samples, compared to 75% identified by the INNO-LIA assay, reduced the number of indeterminate results, and shortened the overall tur...
