TRIFUNCTIONAL ANTIBODY-CYTOKINE FUSION PROTEIN FORMATS FOR TUMOR-TARGETED COMBINATION OF IL-15 WITH IL-7 OR IL-21

Trifunctional antibody-cytokine fusion protein formats for tumor-targeted combination of IL-15 with IL-7 or IL-21

Cytokines from the common gamma chain receptor family, such as IL-15, IL-21 and IL-7, show promise for cancer immunotherapy and have been incorporated individually into the immunocytokine approach.However, their efficacy as monotherapy is limited.Here, we investigated the molecular design of tumor-directed trifunctional antibody-cytokine fusion pro

HCV core protein-induced down-regulation of microRNA-152 promoted aberrant proliferation by regulating Wnt1 in HepG2 cells.

BackgroundHepatitis C virus (HCV) has been reported to regulate cellular microRNAs (miRNAs).The HCV core protein is considered to be a potential oncoprotein in HCV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCV-HCC), but HCV core-regulated miRNAs are largely unknown.Our preliminary experiments revealed significant jacques marie mage baudelaire 2 down-regula

Developments of Tsunami Observing Systems in Japan

Being situated on the major subduction zones in conjunction with a considerable number of submarine active faults and lilac charger plates coastal volcanoes, Japan has a long history of catastrophic tsunami events.Consequently, enormous efforts in disaster mitigation, particularly in relation with tsunami hazards, have been made across the country.
