“…Mesothelin (MSLN) is a 40-kDa cell differentiation-associated glycoprotein appearing with carcinogenesis and is highly expressed in many human cancers, including the majority of pancreatic adenocarcinomas, ovarian cancers, and mesotheliomas, while its expression in normal tissue is limited to mesothelial cells lining the pleura, pericardium, and peritoneum. Clone 11-25 is a murine hybridoma secreting monoclonal antibody (mAb) against human MSLN. …”

Anther transcriptomes in cold-tolerant rice cultivars tend to show insensitive responses by Koichi Yamamori, Seiya Ishiguro, Kei Ogasawara, Kayyis Muayadah Lubba, Kaien Fujino, Kazumitsu Onishi, Yutaka Sato, Yuji Kishima

“…Many studies of stress tolerance in plants have characterized genes that show differences among a small number of lines with clearly distinct tolerance or sensitivity to the given stress. From the few cloned genes, it is difficult to genetically interpret intermediate tolerance or susceptibility levels and explain the complexity of stress responses and tolerance. …”

Expression of Interferon Effector Gene SART1 Correlates with Interferon Treatment Response against Hepatitis B Infection by Yong Li, Chuanlong Zhu, Faxi Wang, Tiantian Zhu, Jun Li, Shufeng Liu, Fei Xiao

“…In this study, we investigated the role of SART1 in antiviral activity of IFN-α against hepatitis B virus (HBV) using blood and liver biopsy samples from chronic hepatitis B patients treated with pegylated IFN-α and HepG2 cells transfected with cloned HBV DNA. We observed that the basal SART1 expression in liver and PBMCs before IFN treatment was significantly higher in responders than in nonresponders. …”

Cryo-thermal therapy reshaped the tumor immune microenvironment to enhance the efficacy of adoptive T cell therapy by Shicheng Wang, Peng Peng, Junjun Wang, Zelu Zhang, Ping Liu, Lisa X. Xu

“…The remodeling of the tumor immune microenvironment further enhanced the antitumor efficiency of ACT by increasing the proliferation of T cells, promoting activation of the effector functions of T cells and boosting the expansion of TCR clones. Conclusions Our results suggest that CTT can significantly reshape the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment and convert “cold tumors” into “hot tumors,” thereby enhancing ACT-induced immune responses and maximizing the therapeutic effect of ACT.…”
