Tumors grow in the presence of antigen-specific T cells, suggesting the existence of intrinsic cancer cell escape mechanisms. We hypothesized that a histon... DD Vo,RM Prins,JL Begley,... - 《Cancer Research》 被引量: 137发表: 2009年 Promising systemic immunotherapies in head and neck squam...
The test has been performed according to ELISA NMP22 (Matritech) technique; the test is specific for the nuclear matrix protein/nuclear mitotic apparatus protein expressed by cancer cells. When performing the test, 30 patients presented macroscopic hematuria. 22 patients resulted to have benign ...
There are several features of transitional epithelium. This tissue has several layers of cells and the cells contain gap junctions and microvilli. Additionally, the cells are round and pear-shaped, but they become flat and thin when the tissue is stretched.What...
Cells were represented by two types of epithelial elements. A first type consisted of single or small groups of epithelial elements in dysplastic squamous features. The second type was represented by more or less large epithelial aggregates with basophilic, vacuolated cytoplasm and rounded margins. ...
Human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) is a heterodimeric glycoprotein secreted by trophoblastic cells during gestation with placental, uterine and fetal regulatory roles. The α subunit is common to hCG, LH, FSH and TSH, whereas the β subunit (hCGβ) is distinct to the variant hCG forms. Serum ...
ap53 may therefore serve as useful molecular biological markers for determining prognosis and treatment strategies in patients with noninvasive transitional cell carcinomas. This finding is potentially even more significant, because TP53 mutations can be analyzed in urine cells by noninvasive methods (347...
In neoplastic diseases an imbalance of MMPs and TIMPs, leading to an excess of degradative activity, is supposed to be linked to the invasive character of tumour cells [12, 13]. Their proteolytic activity is activated by a complex cascade, which is not yet completely understood. Activated MMP...
Cell proliferation rates of K9TCC cells in vitro were characterized by doubling time. The expression profile of cell-cycle proteins, cytokeratin, E-cadherin, COX-2, PDGFR, VEGFR, and EGFR were evaluated by immunocytochemistry (ICC) and Western blotting (WB) analysis and compared with established ...
