Generation of a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 chronically infected monkey B cell line expressing low levels of endogenous TRIM5alpha.

29 Nov 2009 Several innate cellular antiviral factors exist in mammalian cells that prevent the replication of retroviruses. Among them, the tripartite motif protein (TRIM)5alpha has been shown to block human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in ... Read more...

The shared tumor associated antigen cyclin-A2 is recognized by high-avidity T-cells.

13 Nov 2009 Cyclin-A2, a key cell cycle regulator, has been shown to be overexpressed in various types of malignancies with little expression in normal tissue. Such tumor-associated genes potentially are useful targets for cancer immunotherapy. However, ... Read more...

Identification of a chemokine receptor profile characteristic for mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma.

13 Nov 2009 Mediastinal large B-cell lymphomas (MLBCLs) are considered as a subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; however, they exhibit completely different patterns of dissemination. Since they share a number of surface markers with thymic B cells, a close ... Read more...
