Cancer-Specific Antihuman Podoplanin Antibody chLpMab-2f Exerts Antitumor Effects Against Pleural Mesothelioma. [PDF]
Cancer‐specific antihuman podoplanin antibody chLpMab‐2f exerted antibody‐dependent cellular cytotoxicity and complement‐dependent cytotoxicity against pleural mesothelioma (PM) cell lines. Additionally, chLpMab‐2f inhibited tumor progression in mice with subcutaneously and intrathoracically transplanted human PM cells.

Helminth Infections: Recognition and Modulation of the Immune Response by Innate Immune Cells [PDF]
The survival of helminths in the host over long periods of time is the result of a process of adaptation or dynamic co-evolution between the host and the parasite. However, infection with helminth parasites causes damage to the host tissues producing the

Protection and mechanism of action of a novel human respiratory syncytial virus vaccine candidate based on the extracellular domain of small hydrophobic protein [PDF]
Infections with human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) occur globally in all age groups and can have devastating consequences in young infants. We demonstrate that a vaccine based on the extracellular domain (SHe) of the small hydrophobic (SH) protein ...

CD89-mediated recruitment of macrophages via a bispecific antibody enhances anti-tumor efficacy
Since tumors are often infiltrated by macrophages, it would be advantageous to turn these types of cells into cytotoxic effector cells. Here, we have designed a novel bispecific antibody (BsAb) that targets both tumor antigen (CD20) and the FcαRI ...
