Intratumoral rhIL-12 administration in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients induces B cell activation.

13 Nov 2008 The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of intratumorally (i.t.) administered recombinant human interleukin-12 (rhIL-12) on the distribution and function of B cells in the primary tumors, the locoregional lymph nodes and ... Read more...

Balancing immunity and immunosuppression: vaccinating patients receiving treatment with efalizumab.

30 Oct 2008 Although effective in the treatment of immunodysregulatory diseases such as psoriasis, targeted immunosuppressive agents may confer risks of both enhanced susceptibility to infection and decreased responsiveness to vaccination. In a recent study, ... Read more...

Natalizumab disproportionately increases circulating pre-B and B cells in multiple sclerosis.

19 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Natalizumab, a humanized anti-alpha4 integrin monoclonal antibody, reduces relapses and disease progression in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Whereas its presumed mode of action is inhibition of T cell/monocyte entry into the ... Read more...
