Dexamethasone did not suppress immune boosting by personalized peptide vaccination for advanced prostate cancer patients.

29 Nov 2008 BACKGROUND: To evaluate the immunological responses of personalized peptide vaccination combined with low-dose glucocorticoids for advanced hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) patients (pts). METHODS: Eleven pts with advanced HRPC were ... Read more...

Characterization of humoral immune responses against p16, p53, HPV16 E6 and HPV16 E7 in patients with HPV-associated cancers.

29 Nov 2008 The cellular tumor suppressor p16 is strongly overexpressed in cervical cancers and precancers. We have previously demonstrated that infiltrating T lymphocytes reactive against p16 can be found in cervical cancer patients. Here, we analyzed whether ... Read more...

Humoral responses directed against non-human leukocyte antigens in solid-organ transplantation.

25 Oct 2008 Antibody-mediated mechanisms have a major impact on allograft function and survival. During the last decade, improved immunohistochemical and serologic diagnostic procedures have been developed to monitor antibody responses against human leukocyte ... Read more...
