PRECLINICAL DEVELOPMENT OF A FIRST-IN-CLASS VACCINE ENCODING HER2, BRACHYURY AND CD40L FOR ANTIBODY ENHANCED TUMOR ERADICATION

Preclinical development of a first-in-class vaccine encoding HER2, Brachyury and CD40L for antibody enhanced tumor eradication

Abstract The induction of antiviral innate immunity by systemic immunization with live virus can be employed to positively impact the response to therapeutic vaccination.We previously demonstrated that systemic immunization with a non-replicating MVA encoding CD40 ligand (CD40L) enhances innate immune cell activation and function, and triggers pote

Telomere Length on Chromosome 17q Shortens More than Global Telomere Length in the Development of Breast Cancer

It is known that total telomere length is shorter in invasive breast cancer than in normal breast tissue but the status of individual telomere lengths has not been studied.Part of the difficulty is that usually telomere length in interphase cells is measured on all chromosomes together.In this study we compared normal breast epithelium, duct doctor

A New Strategy for Animal Research: Attending to Dissent

Increasingly, ethical concepts ordinarily reserved for the human research setting have been applied to nonhuman animals in research.This comes at the same time as concerns mount andre 3000 new blue sun zip over challenges in translating the results of biomedical research with animals to human clinical benefit.This paper argues that applying the con
