NK cells protect secondary lymphoid tissue from cytomegalovirus via a CD30-dependent mechanism.

29 Sep 2009 The pathogenic outcomes of viral infection are often reminiscent of a dysfunctional immune system. Thus, cytomegalovirus (CMV) causes disruption of the lymphoid architecture and the functionality of lymphocytes, both of which are features of CD30 ... Read more...

Biscoclaurine alkaloid cepharanthine inhibits the growth of primary effusion lymphoma in vitro and in vivo and induces apoptosis via suppression of the NF-kappaB pathway.

13 Sep 2009 Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a unique and recently identified non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that was originally identified in patients with AIDS. PEL is caused by the Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV/HHV-8) and shows a peculiar ... Read more...

Acetylcholinesterase and HHV-8 in squamous cell carcinoma and retinoblastoma.

30 Aug 2009 Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and human herpesvirus type 8 (HHV-8) antigens were studied in tissue sections from 56 squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and five retinoblastomas (Rb). Approximately 62.5% of SCC and 80% of Rb showed positive staining for ... Read more...
