Integrated spherical nucleic acid nanoreactor mobilizes targeted PD‐L1 proteolysis and cuproptosis for robust breast cancer immunotherapy

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
This study provides an integrated spherical nucleic acid nanoreactor (denoted as AMCuD) for targeted PD‐L1 degradation and chemo‐dynamically enhanced cuproptosis to synergically elicit robust immunotherapy against the triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) growth, recurrence and metastasis.

Interferon-Gamma Release Assays

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2014
Diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) should be targeted toward individuals and groups with high risk of progression to active tuberculosis (TB). Low-risk populations should not be screened. Interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) perform as well or better than the tuberculin skin test in most targeted populations.

Interferon gamma release assays: principles and practice

Enfermedades Infecciosas Y Microbiología Clínica, 2010
The last decade has witnessed significant advances in mycobacterial genomics and cellular research which have resulted in the development of two new blood tests, the enzyme-linked immunospot assay (ELISpot) (TSPOT.TB, Oxford Immunotec, Oxford, UK) and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube, Cellestis, Carnegie ...

Role of interferon-gamma release assays in healthcare workers

Journal of Hospital Infection, 2009
The advent of interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) provides new options for detection of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). This is particularly relevant to healthcare workers (HCWs), who are at higher risk of infection, but who have often also been vaccinated.

Interferon-gamma release assays and TB diagnosis

Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, 2009
Worldwide in 2007, there were an estimated 9.27 million new cases of active tuberculosis (TB) and 1.8 million deaths related to the disease. However, in most people with TB, the infection is 'latent'; the underlying cause, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains alive but patients are asymptomatic and non-infectious.

Interferon-gamma release assays for tuberculosis: current and future applications

Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine, 2013
Interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) represent the first new tool to diagnose latent tuberculosis infection for more than 100 years. They have advantages over the traditional tuberculin skin test which has a poor specificity due to false-positive responses in people who are BCG vaccinated as there is a cross-reactivity of proteins present in both ...
