A major step in the development of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is the clinical optimization and evaluation of new photosensitizers (PS). Ideally, new compounds should be more effective and/or induce fewer side effects than the first generation PS such as he ...
The early detection and localization of bronchial cancer remains a challenging task. Autofluorescence bronchoscopy is emerging as a useful diagnostic tool with improved sensitivity and specificity. Evidence exists that the native fluorescence or autofluore ...
The MYC proto-oncogene encodes a ubiquitous transcription factor (c- MYC) involved in the control of cell proliferation and differentiation. Deregulated expression of c-MYC caused by gene amplification, retroviral insertion, or chromosomal translocation is ...
Cell-cell adhesion mediated by E-cadherin is often lost or disturbed in human carcinomas. For regular adhesive function, E-cadherin has to form complexes with peripheral cytoplasmic catenins which are multifunctional proteins that are also involved in sign ...
We have described and cloned previously a factor (MTF-1) that binds specifically to heavy metal-responsive DNA sequence elements in the enhancer/promoter region of metallothionein genes. MTF-1 is a protein of 72.5 kDa that contains six zinc fingers and mul ...
We have made Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines that contain up to 2000 copies of the coding region of the mouse c-myc gene fused to the promoter of the Drosophila gene (hsp70) encoding a Mr 70,000 heat shock protein. Incubation of these cells at 43 de ...
The authors have recently shown that immunophotodetection of human colon carcinomas in nude mice and in patients is possible by using anti-carcinoembryonic antigen monoclonal antibodies (MAb) coupled to fluorescein. The most common clin. application of pho ...
Stimulation of the macrophage-like cell line THP-1 with the phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) resulted in differentiation into cells with many features of macrophages. This differentiation was accompanied by transcriptional activation of ...
