The Anti-EMMPRIN Monoclonal Antibody hMR18-mAb Induces Tumor Dormancy and Inhibits the EMT Process in Human Carcinoma Cell Lines Co-Cultured with Macrophages

Biomedicines
Background: The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process is necessary for metastasis as it enables tumor cells’ migration and invasion. In the remote organ, tumor cells can develop into metastatic lesions or arrest their proliferation and ...

Oral Immunotherapy for Food Allergies [PDF]

Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism, 2016
Oral immunotherapy (OIT) is a promising investigational therapy for food allergy. Clinical trials in peanut, milk, egg, and wheat allergy provide evidence that OIT can effectively desensitize a majority of individuals to a food allergen. While a portion of subjects demonstrate sustained unresponsiveness, the majority regain sensitivity with allergen ...

Cost-Effective and Time-Saving Multiplex-Beads Immunoassay Method to Detect Humoral Immune Responses Against Respiratory Infections

Journal of Immunology Research
The multiplex-bead immunoassay is characterized by its ability to detect multiple analytes simultaneously within a short timeframe and with high precision. Consequently, it is an appealing tool for identifying humoral immune responses to various targets,

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Stimulator of interferon genes agonist augmented antitumor immunity of osimertinib in Egfr‐mutated lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining osimertinib with the STING agonist ADU‐S100 activates innate and adaptive immunity to overcome the non‐inflamed microenvironment of Egfr‐mutant lung cancer. This combination increases NK and CD8+ T‐cell infiltration, associated with activation of the STING‐IRF3 pathway and local immunogenic cell death.
