CD8+ T cells, NK cells and IFN-γ are important for control of tumor with downregulated MHC class I expression by DNA vaccination
One of the major hurdles facing cancer immunotherapy is that cancers may downregulate expression of MHC class I molecules. The development of a suitable tumor model with downregulated MHC class I expression is...

Enhancement of suicidal DNA vaccine potency by linking Mycobacterium tuberculosis heat shock protein 70 to an antigen
Naked DNA vaccines represent an attractive approach for generating antigen-specific immunity because of their stability and simplicity of delivery. There are particular concerns with DNA vaccines however, such...

Recombinant DNA vaccines protect against tumors that are resistant to recombinant vaccinia vaccines containing the same gene
Antigen-specific cancer immunotherapy involves the delivery of tumor-associated antigen to the host for the generation of tumor-specific immune responses and antitumor effects. We hypothesized that different d...

Characterization of capacitive humidity sensors based on doped poly(propargyl-alcohol)
Films of poly(propargyl alcohol) (POHP), doped with both sulphuric acid and iron trichloride, were deposited on interdigitated gold electrodes. Their electrical properties were examined as a function of percen...

Intramuscular administration of E7-transfected dendritic cells generates the most potent E7-specific anti-tumor immunity
Dendritic cells (DCs) are highly efficient antigen-presenting cells capable of priming both cytotoxic and helper T cells in vivo. Recent studies have demonstrated the potential use of DCs that are modified to ...

Secondary Light Output from ZnS:Mn Thin Film Electroluminescent Devices
Substantial insights into the processes responsible for light emission from ac thin-film electroluminescent (EL) devices can be deduced from the time dependences of the EL light output (emission waveforms). Un...
