Open AccessIdentification of genes differentially expressed as result of adenovirus type 5- and adenovirus type 12-transformation
Cells transformed by human adenoviruses (Ad) exhibit differential capacities to induce tumours in immunocompetent rodents; for example, Ad12-transformed rodent cells are oncogenic whereas Ad5-transformed cells...

A Flow Cytometric Assay for Analysis of Natural-Killer Cell-Mediated Cytolysis of Adenovirus-Transformed Cells
Natural-killer (NK) cells play an important role in recognizing and eliminating virally infected and transformed cells. To study this process, convenient assays for NK-cell function are required. Conventional ...

Transcriptional regulation of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I heavy chain, TAP1 and LMP2 genes by the human papillomavirus (HPV) type 6b, 16 and 18 E7 oncoproteins
We have examined the possibility that the E7 proteins of the high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 and 18 and the oncogenic adenovirus (Ad) type 12 E1A protein share the ability to down-regulate the exp...

Stable and temperature-sensitive transformation of baby rat kidney cells by SV40 suppresses expression of membrane dipeptidase
Membrane dipeptidase (MDP) is a zinc metalloenzyme located in the lungs and on the brush border membranes of the kidney and intestine. The gene for MDP (also termed DPEP1) is both frequently lost in Wilm's tum...

The immunomodulatory effect of levamisole is influenced by postoperative changes and type of lymphocyte stimulant
The results of both laboratory and clinical research into the immunomodulatory activity of levamisole have shown a considerable degree of inconsistency and sometimes contradiction. This is probably a reflectio...
