EPSTEIN BARR VIRUS LATENT MEMBRANE PROTEIN-1 ENHANCES DENDRITIC CELL THERAPY LYMPH NODE MIGRATION, ACTIVATION, AND IL-12 SECRETION.

Epstein Barr virus Latent Membrane Protein-1 enhances dendritic cell therapy lymph node migration, activation, and IL-12 secretion.

Dendritic cells (DC) are a promising cell type for cancer vaccines due to their high immunostimulatory capacity.However, improper maturation of DC prior to treatment may account for the limited efficacy of DC vaccine clinical trials.Latent Membrane Protein-1 (LMP1) of Epstein-Barr virus was examined for its ability to mature and activate DC as a ge

Exponents for Hamiltonian paths on random bicubic maps and KPZ

We evaluate the CLEAN GAINER CHOC FUDGE configuration exponents of various ensembles of Hamiltonian paths drawn on random planar bicubic maps.These exponents are estimated from the extrapolations of exact enumeration results for finite sizes and compared with their theoretical predictions based on the Knizhnik, Polyakov and Zamolodchikov (KPZ) rela

Phospholipid Phosphatase 4 promotes proliferation and tumorigenesis, and activates Ca2+-permeable Cationic Channel in lung carcinoma cells

Abstract Background Phospholipid phosphatase 4 (PPAPDC1A or PLPP4) has been demonstrated to be involved in the malignant process of many cancers.The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical significance and biological roles of PLPP4 in lung carcinoma.Methods PLPP4 expression was examined in 8 paired lung carcinoma tissues by real-time

Relationships between measures of boat acceleration and performance in rowing, with and without controlling for stroke rate and power output.

PurposeBoat acceleration profiles provide a valuable feedback tool by reflecting both rower technique and force application.Relationships between measures of boat acceleration and velocity to inform interpretation of boat acceleration profiles in rowing were investigated here.MethodsThirteen male singles, nine female singles, eight male pairs, and
