Multilineage hematopoietic recovery with concomitant antitumor effects using low dose Interleukin-12 in myelosuppressed tumor-bearing mice [PDF]
Background Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a cytokine well known for its role in immunity. A lesser known function of IL-12 is its role in hematopoiesis. The promising data obtained in the preclinical models of antitumor immunotherapy raised hope that IL-12 ...

Role of Costimulation in the Induction of the IL-12/IL-12 Receptor Pathway and the Development of Autoimmunity [PDF]
Abstract Costimulation mediated by the interactions of the B7 Ags (CD80/CD86) on APC with CD28 on the responding T cell regulates the magnitude of the immune response and may influence Th1/Th2 development. The IL-12Rβ2 subunit plays a critical role in maintaining IL-12 responsiveness and controlling Th1 lineage commitment.

IL-12 receptor regulation in IL-12-deficient BALB / c and C57BL / 6 mice [PDF]
Immunization with protein antigen in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) induces Th1 cells in BALB/c and C57BL/6 (B6) mice. Pretreatment with the same protein in soluble form induces Th2 cells in BALB/c but not in B6 mice and inhibits Th1 cell development in both.

Immunogenicity evaluation of a DNA vaccine expressing the hepatitis C virus non-structural protein 2 gene in C57BL/6 Mice [PDF]
Backgrounds: Most of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections elicit poor immune responses and 75% to 85% of cases become chronic; therefore, the development of an effective vaccine against HCV is of paramount importance.

ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...
